I have been in recovery for over 8 years now and much of that time I have spent in pursuit of being of service to others. I have always been pretty handy and my family and I have worked together on arts and crafts off and on for many years. It is something that gives me a great sense of joy and purpose. I currently live in Michigan but I grew up in California, what a world of difference it is. Anyway, that guy there in the black hat and black hoodie sitting at the table is me, and the guys nose to the center left, is attached to my best friend. He helps me work on my projects here and there. My Mom and Dad also work on projects and help me out a lot as well. They are both wonderful people and I'm so fortunate to have them in my life. So, I started this business as an attempt to share my arts and crafts with my community, but not everything I make is recovery related. Honestly, whatever inspires me is what drives me to create and because recovery is such a huge part of my life, it is often the inspiration. I do hope you find something that inspires you as well, and maybe you will even find something I make speaks to you as it has for me. I make some production stuff but I really love to make custom one of a kind pieces, including memorial stained glass. Please reach out to me at sales@stainedheart.com if you are interested in commissioning a custom art glass piece or memorial piece. Thanks!
