    How wonderful to have something that beautiful in your living room. It must cast beautiful light when the sun shines through it.

    Cheryl,
    I remember an art teacher in the Emporia school system back in the 1960’s by the name of Harry Hart. Could he the artist that designed your stained glass piece? I remember him as being a fine teacher and person…maybe influential in helping me to decide on a life of making art. I haven’t heard of him since those days.
    Can you share any more information about him with me? Thank you. Steve Scott, Lindsborg, KS

    Steve, Yes, the maker of the stained glass pie was the same Harry Hart.

    Harry was with the school district for a long time, even after he retried as an art teacher. He was a beloved and active member of the community.

    Here are some links about him.
