Fractured Hue Studios began in May 2023 as a creative outlet in the middle of a beautifully busy life.
I’m a wife, a mom of four, and a homeschooling parent whose days are filled with dance classes, theater rehearsals, lessons at the kitchen table, and all the moving parts of family life. Somewhere between the schedules, the noise, and the responsibilities, I found stained glass — and it quickly became more than a hobby. It became my therapy.
What started at my kitchen table grew into a home studio in Crossville, Alabama, where I spend my quiet moments cutting, grinding, foiling, and soldering pieces of glass into something meaningful. I’m a completely self-taught stained glass artist, learning through trial, error, patience, and a deep love for the craft.
Stained glass allows me to slow down. To focus. To create something with my hands that brings color, light, and calm into a space. Every piece I make is one-of-a-kind, shaped by both creativity and the peaceful rhythm this art brings into my life.
Fractured Hue Studios is a reflection of that balance — the chaos of motherhood and the calm of creation. Each design carries a little bit of both.
Thank you for being here and for supporting handmade art created right here in my home studio. It truly means more than you know.
