About Andrea Lucas: "Though I live in Birmingham now I was born in very rural Perry County Alabama. Back in the 1960’s we did not have the technical stimuli there is today but there were ample materials to make art and the roots of my artistry are traced back to our farm; Grassland Farms. I have been a stained glass artist since 1999. I am a Home Grown Southern Woman to the core but it is my great desire to get my windows into major buildings and homes in every US state and now is the time. My children are grown and my parents are gone. For the first time in my adult life I can put all my talent and energy and my time into my stained glass career.

My passion for stained glass windows has been with me since a very young age. The windows of Notra Dame and other European Cathedrals left me dazzled as do the brilliant windows in my hometown church in Marion, Alabama. Stained glass windows are the most ethereal art form there is, an art form where spirit and mind converge. And because of the public’s ever increasing appetite for art, the use of stained glass windows in the Architectural market place is ever increasing!

What I find easiest in regards to constructing a window is pattern design and color selection. What can be perplexing is the amount of time it takes to make a significant window but because of this a relationship with each window is formed during the process. And when at last the window is installed into its permanent dwelling it is most often difficult to turn my back and walk away that last time. But I do.

My patterns are all freehanded, no computer images. I get my artistic inspiration from absolutely everywhere and everything. I can do traditional designs but when my most faithful clients give me free range I will create a window that is quite stunning and very eclectic. No matter where they are placed all well mastered stained glass windows hold a natural place of honor."
