Patricia started making stained glass items and repairing antique windows and cabinet panels for friends and family more than ten years ago. As time went on, Patricia found herself doing more and more sophisticated projects and requiring more expensive equipment. Thus, to finance her hobby, she began selling at craft fairs and doing custom work. This lead to the creation of her home based business Glass Art by Patricia Gower in May of 2000. Today Patricia's work is sold in numerous sites including The Royal B.C. Museum, The Greater Victoria Art Gallery, and The Sooke Regional Museum.
Patricia loves the interplay between glass, light, and line that exists in stained glass. She appreciates all styles of glass art and is skilled in both the copper foil and lead came methods. The copper foil method was developed by Louis Tiffany and allows for very intricate pieces of glass in the design, while the lead came method, which comes from the middle ages, allows for the lines to play a more prominent role. Using both techniques allows Patricia to create or repair anything that she or a client can dream up.
