When the soul is deeply touched, it is difficult to find words to express those feelings. The moment you walked into our renovation meeting and gave your presentation...I understood, somehow, your sense of the Sacred. It became obvious to all of us that this was so much more to you than..."just a job". Your deep spirituality and love of your work for love of God, was evident in your letter to us. You understood perfectly what we wanted to accomplish. A space which would draw each person into the reality of God's presence.

As we enter our beautiful worship space ... that is exactly what happens. I told you at the Dedication that you are a good steward of God's gift. We as a parish now have a share in that gift, and we are most grateful.

In the capacity of professional creative consultant, I was asked to weigh in on a residential window project that a client that had recently commissioned Mark of Scintilla Stained Glass to create for a prominent location in her home. She had discovered Mark on her own and brought me in part way through the project, so I had no idea what to expect when asked to accompany her to his rural Bucks County, PA studio.

What I learned about Mark is that he's a master craftsman with exceptional skills in this medium, possessing a vast depth of knowledge and experience from having worked on complex projects ranging from large scale, elaborate restoration work for churches — the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC among them — to smaller scale custom designed residential windows.

Mark's high quality aesthetic sensibilities, background in engineering, and exceptional knowledge of the stained glass medium qualify him as the consummate stained glass window professional. Those qualities, along with his kind, approachable personality and friendly working style, make it easy to recommend him without any hesitation whatsoever if you’re thinking about a stained glass project for your home or business.
