RALPH GONZALES
Stained Glass Artist and Designer
Berkeley Springs, WV
Ralph Gonzales has been forging stained glass for eighteen years using mostly exotic and expensive materials for his creative birth into the real world. He seeks to fashion unusual glass pieces by stretching his imagination outwards to the cosmos…and inwards to the dwelling place of the spirit…to penetrate and probe the edge of an individual’s stored creativity. Always willing to take a chance, his glass reflects what his soul has seen and places that energy to accentuate the brilliance of the suns light, or the darkness of artificial light. Most works of art respond to the day…one way…and to delight the viewer…another way…at night.
Ralph also writes plays, short stories, and poems, and has published a book, “Alligators and Other Perceptions.”
