Robin Saenger's love affair with glass and light and color began as a love of beauty. The natural beauty of the glass was a magnet for Robin's eye, and eventually became the
focus of her art; architectural glass.
During her 24 year career as a studio artist, Robin has designed hundreds of art glass creations; stained glass and carved glass, the finest hand bevels, and sandblasted and painted details. Robin's preferred glass is a full antique German glass manufactured by Lambert's Glass Company. She finds that the colors are sublime whether in vibrant hues, or muted matte subtle ones.
Whether the creations are site specific, or not, they are unique expressions both spontaneous and deeply thoughtful. Some projects become personal shields for clients, and many are designs incorporating symbolic and artistic details that resonate with each individual. Robin draws from a deep well of inspiration, and one of the most exciting moments for her is the initial unveiling of the design.
For the past several years, Robin has branched out in several directions. She works with much more metal now and provides her clients a welcome alternative from the ordinary, mass produced products so sadly prevalent in what would otherwise be a spectacularly beautiful structure or setting. An entry gate, or interior metal screen enmeshed with stunning glass details and crystals, transforms a living space into a gallery with functional and beautiful art.
Her preferred method of working with a client is to have an initial meeting to see if the "fit' is right for each of them. Next, site specifications and budget concerns are addressed. At that point, she will either proceed with the project herself, and a team of excellent craftspeople, or provide specifications and designs for a fabrication team to complete in a distant location. By working closely with the project from inception to completion, excellent results are obtained, and her goal is that the world becomes a more lovely, harmonious and beautiful place.

"Let the beauty we love be what we do." Rumi
