The Art of Glass:
Ted’s Journey to Mastery
Ted's artistic evolution is profoundly shaped by his early encounters with nature and his family's artistic heritage, with a mother who was a watercolorist and a father who specialized in oil painting. His professional journey in glass art began with designing, fabricating, and installing church windows, which inspired him to study advanced glass techniques at Ontario College of Art & Design. Ted has worked on significant projects in Canada, Jamaica, and Australia, collaborating with renowned glass artist Gundar Robez, whose mentorship greatly shaped his artistic style.
