BillieJo
A native Mid-Westerner, raised in rural Wisconsin,  this no-nonsense pioneer spirit transplanted herself in New England, and claimed her stake — a life of making art. For her, making art is about being brave enough to be true in a world where truth is not always rewarded.

With stained-glass as a medium, her work is insistent and unapologetic.  Her art, like the glass she shapes, reflects her world view.

For BillieJo, inspiration presents itself in a vast array of disguises; now dressed in one of her daughter's crayon sketches; then wrapped in a photograph of one held dear; at other times it comes masquerading as some matter of fact that will no longer be taken for granted.  However her inspiration comes disguised, she works her will on the medium until that inspiration becomes the rainbow-mirror image of its true self.

What you appreciate in BillieJo's art is a reflection of what's true in you.
