Recommendations and quotes from clients



The following are quotes and recommendations from clients:
 
 
I first became aware of Isaac Smith's work via his paintings.  I was  
overwhelmed by the expression of emotion he presents on his canvas  
creations.  He plays bold colors and deep shadows into a depth that  
draws the viewer into his intent.  Upon further review, I also  
discovered his unique way with glass.  I have not seen any other  
artist use such a free flowing representation with this medium.  Glass  
can be so harsh and structured in it's display, but Isaac transforms  
his pieces into fluid displays of grace.  I find a soothing calmness  
come to my soul as I view his work.  I highly recommend everyone to  
take the time to breathe in his work and feel his spirit flow from his  
hands.

I commissioned Isaac to create a partial window for my dining area. 
I wanted a design that worked with the view and had movement to it.   
His initial design was great and was modified after a little more input.  
 After the completed window was installed he showed me how the 
movement in the design also worked 
with the marbling detail I had on my walls.   
I highly recommend Isaac for any window project for his artistic 
talent and detail.

Isaac was hired to design and install beveled glass in our existing raised 
wood panel kitchen cabinets.  We were hoping for a new look.  
 Isaac’s custom design and hand beveling work was superior to anything 
I have ever seen before.  We were absolutely blown away by the 
transformation.  Isaac was a dream to work with.   
I would highly recommend his services to anyone!

Isaac designed some stained glass windows for our new home in the 
country.  We had some antique leaded glass windows from our old home 
in Seattle which had great sentimental value.  He did a beautiful job, 
incorporating the old and the new—with a gorgeous design of native 
grasses and pinecones.

We first met Isaac Smith at an art show in 2008.  After viewing some 
of his work and looking at multiple pictures of his other works, 
we contracted him to create 
a stained glass to adorn a window in our home.   
The size of this piece is about 
30" by 30".  He was able to incorporate some of the same 
textured glass we had 
in another window into the piece.  It turned out beautiful 
and we continue to 
enjoy in today.  It was designed to catch the sun at various times
of the day and year to give several different effects. 
We have had many complements on the piece enhancing
the beauty of our home.

We were very pleased with the entire experience, from design 
to installation.   
After minimal changes to the original drawing, the piece was finished 
in a very timely fashion and installed by Isaac. 
We feel that we obtained a beautiful piece 
for a very reasonable cost, and are able to recommend Isaac without 
reservation for his glasswork.

Isaac,
 
Thank you so much for the beautifully designed window for my master
 bedroom. 
People constantly tell me how much they love the way it appears to flow 
in a breeze. 
You listened to me in the touch of Asian feel and colors I wanted. 
When you brought me the different sketches to choose from I did not 
think that the end result would be so beautiful and exact. 
You completed the project in a timely manner. The price was great for 
the results you provided. 
I highly recommend you to anyone seeking affordable answers to privacy 
with an artistic flair that fits well into the style of the house.
 
Respectfully,
