Sue’s upbringing in Vermont has deeply influenced her love for the region and its ever- changing four seasons. She considers herself a true New Englander, finding inspiration in the natural beauty that surrounds her.
For more than twenty years, Sue has devoted herself to the craft of stained glass. In 2010, she founded “Suebee Glass” with the goal of capturing the exquisite qualities of Mother Nature and bringing them into people’s homes through her unique designs.
Every piece Sue creates is original and handcrafted, featuring a diverse selection of colored glass and a generous dose of imagination. Her expertise includes traditional stained glass methods, such as the Tiffany copper foil technique and classic lead caming, ensuring each work is both beautiful and structurally sound.
Sue’s process begins with stained glass made from silica sand, limestone, and soda ash. She selects her glass from renowned makers like Wissmach, Kokomo, Bullseye, and Spectrum, each contributing to the quality and character of her work. She has a particular fondness for iridized glass, which is treated with metallic salts to create a shimmering, mother-of-pearl effect that dances across the surface.
Since 2010, Sue has collaborated with Rock of Ages in Barre, Vermont, constructing stained glass windows for granite mausoleums installed across the country. Her commissioned pieces decorate many New England homes, and her creative output also includes stained glass mosaic tables and distinctive wall art, each piece reflecting her passion and originality.
