Latest Stained Glass Work
A penchant for experimentation led Clarice Smith to expand from painting into the arena of leaded glass, inspired in part by the works of the women designers at Tiffany Studios. Through color, composition, and subject, her Herons in Flight (2018) evokes the possibility of freedom in collective uplift. Made in collaboration with Venturella Studio of New York City, the transom window is installed on the fourth floor of the New-York Historical Society near its Center for Women’s History.
