Stained Glass on Display
Local stained glass artist Theresa Stone opens her exhibit in the Arts Council windows on First Avenue on Aug. 6 for a six-week display of her unique and creative designs.
This will be the third exhibit of Stone’s works during the summer, with a second one currently at West End Art Gallery in Long Branch and her monthly display at the Guild of Creative Art on Route 35 in Shrewsbury.
A native of Atlantic Highlands,, when the family lived on 7th ave., Stone studied in Washington State, and has been designing and creating beautiful glass for more than 30 years. Originally an award winning quilter, the Henry Hudson Regional School graduate said she has always been fascinated by intricate art work. She attributes that to just always liking “to take a lot of little pieces and put them together into something pretty.”
The Arts Guild display will be all stained glass panels, she said, as opposed to other stained glass pieces she also makes. Because of her love for the ocean, most of the panels are ocean scenes or creatures from the ocean, some include actual shells and other se life within the design.
