It's me, Harpal!
Born and raised in Northern Virginia; shaped and evolved in Richmond, VA; and now living, loving, creating, and flourishing in Los Angeles, I can truly say I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
I've spent a good part of my late 20s and early 30s dabbling in lots of various creative pursuits. Whether it was macrame, graphic design, Polaroid photography, sewing, lighting design, silk-screening, and even event production, I've had the great fortune of having a breadth of experience and I am forever grateful.
All of this has led me to where I am today and I can truly say I've been drawn to stained glass for some time now. It's something I've noticed from afar for a while and have been completely mesmerized by. The interplay between light, color, and shapes is what has pulled me in, while the depth, detail, and intricacy of the craft is what has gotten me to stay. I'm inherently drawn to color and light so none of this comes as a big surprise.
I've been working with stained glass for almost five years now. I have found what I want to do and I am so excited for the ride ahead. Currently, my work features necklaces, pendants, and various sun-catchers and window panels. As I look to the future and delve into stained glass and kiln form techniques, I can not wait for the concoctions and creations that lie ahead. Won't you join me for the ride?
