Let’s unwrap the story behind the 2023 Pink Paw Silver Bell Stained Glass Ornament and the hands that bring it to life.

Meet the Artisan: Mary Brown, the Heart Behind the Glass

Mary Brown smilingImagine a world where artistry meets advocacy, and creativity becomes a catalyst for change. For the past 23 years, self-taught stained glass artisan Mary Brown has been transforming this vision into reality. Her journey into the realm of glasswork started spontaneously, fueled by an innate passion for the beauty of glass and a desire to create art that resonates.

Mary’s work isn’t just visually appealing; it’s a testament to her skill and dedication. From sizable church windows to delicate earrings, her portfolio spans a diverse spectrum. What sets Mary’s work apart is her intricate touch—adding beads, incorporating jewelry, and employing decorative soldering to infuse a captivating 3D effect.

A few years into her creative endeavor, Mary took on a unique challenge—capturing the essence of our four-legged companions through stained glass dog portraits. The response was overwhelmingly positive. One such creation caught the attention of the National Canine Cancer Foundation (NCCF) representative, sparking a collaboration that would mark the beginning of something truly special.

In 2012, Mary was commissioned to craft the inaugural NCCF stained glass Christmas ornament, featuring the organization’s iconic pink paw logo. Fast forward to 2023, and Mary’s passion for her craft and dedication to the cause remain as vibrant as ever.
