Each Corner of the Chapel points to the relative "corners" of the great State of Nevada.
The intent of the design is to not only provide a panorama of our beautiful state, but to center the visitor in the midst of it all. While this Chapel will serve well as a meeting place for general services and worship of the creator of this beauty, it must also serve in providing a sanctuary of solitude during quiet prayers for a passing hero. This design respectfully addresses this balance.  Many people to thank. Mike Northan, Kit DeCarlo for all your help and long evenings A big thank you to Quality Tile and Marble for their generous donation that made this project possible. To A. Perry and St Marys Art Center for their kindness of utilizing their open space...

Why Choose Custom Stained Glass?
Bring Your Vision to Life Whether you’re interested in residential stained glass windows, church restorations, or custom art panels, we bring passion and expertise to every project. Let us create a stunning stained glass masterpiece that reflects your unique style.  In Virginia City, we boast one of Northern Nevada's premier art centers, St. Mary's Art Center. They've recently hosted "Head & Toes," an engaging collaborative project involving local artists. In this event, one artist starts a painting by completing the top half of a canvas and then covers it. Another artist then finishes the bottom half without seeing the first artist's work. The final reveal is always a wonderful surprise! In 2023, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Comstock cult classic film, "God Monster of Indian Flats." As part of the commemoration, artists contributed to complete projects inspired by the film.
These projects showcase the incredible talent and creativity within our community, celebrating both our local art scene and our unique cultural heritage.
What a great project! St. Mary's Art Center in Virginia City and the Core Contemporary Gallery in Las Vegas came together to host a unique art event through The Nevada Art Council's Basin to Range Exchange program called NVHead2Toe. Fifteen artists from Northern Nevada and fifteen artists from the Las Vegas area were paired to produce collaborative artworks. The catch was that neither artist could see the other's work. We were given half of a canvas to work with and some match lines to meet. One artist was to do the "head" and the other to do the "toes". I was very happy to be selected to participate in such a unique idea. The curiosity about what lay below the cover on the other side of the canvas was intense. What colors? What subject matter? The finished product is sure to be a juxtaposition of spontaneous imagery. How could the entire piece not explode with artistic tension and contrast? The finished products will be shown at the St. Mary's Art Center in Virginia City from Friday, December 13 to Sunday, December 15. Then the pieces are moved to Core Contemporary Gallery in Las Vegas and shown from January 23 to February 29, with a reception on Saturday January 25. For more information in Northern Nevada visit www.stmarysartcenter.org. They are at 555 R Street in Virginia City. In Southern Nevada see www.corecontemporary.com. They are at 900 East Karen Ave. Ste D222, Las Vegas.

Adding Custom Stained Glass to your business is a classy, understated way to connect with your customers while empowering your staff to embrace your company culture. Corrie works with business owners to explore the symbolism of a company's logo, branding and message. She expertly transforms these symbols into beautiful stained glass and fused glass, turning a message into a work of art. When businesses take the time to add a unique touch to their interior, they gain a marketing opportunity for every passerby. "Everyone has to take a picture next to the custom window," remarks the restaurant and bar owner of Bucket of Blood in Virginia City, NV. Pictures of the custom stained glass end up on Facebook and Yelp with happy customers in the foreground. Marketing gold! Custom stained glass is also beneficial for employees. "I didn't think the intricate design of our logo could be turned into stained glass. When I saw Corrie's flawless stained glass, I knew I could never serve a customer again without checking and double-checking my work! Absolutely inspiring!"
A custom piece of stained glass is art enjoyed for a lifetime! Stained glass is a timeless medium that holds history while telling your modern story.
