In the ANIMAL TALES Series I join my love of stories and my love of animals with my personal need to work with repurposed materials.  I create hand-drawn kiln processed glass paintings of animal portraits and merge them to manipulated used books, the titles of which are specific to the animal either in personality or in subject matter, and are often the titles of the piece.

(Painted image includes kiln-fired Glass Paint on glass front, and oil or acrylic paint for color on glass back.)
