For 26 years Steven Wrubleski has designed
and produced exquisite architectural art glass in his studio
on Lopez Island, Washington. Commissions range from intimate
accents to larger installations which function as an extension
of the architectural design itself. His work includes large
municipal projects in the Northwest, as well as private commissions
throughout the U.S.

| “My stained glass work expresses a
wide variety of design styles, in response to the needs of each
client – ranging from architectural geometrical panels,
to fluidly organic designs; some including recognizable imagery
and others abstract. As a professional designer, I enjoy the
collaborative process of combining my expertise with the client’s
ideas – integrating the variables of ambiance, light source,
architectural style, and functional site requirements – into
a completed installation which adds beauty to the building environment
and evokes a sense of joy and inspiration in the persons enjoying
the space. My work is very personal. Each piece of glass I include
is carefully selected or created for its color and textural light
enhancing qualities. Any application for art glass is of interest
to me, from entries, skylights, room dividers, or lighting.” |

| Stained glass is best installed as an additional layer
behind a thermalpane glass layer, toward the inside of
the building space. As such it can be added in at any time.
Higher degree of integration with architectural aesthetic
is possible when consideration of art glass occurs early
in the building design process. |
