For Thomas McKeon, glass art has been his passion for almost 30 years. When Tom first discovered glass, he worked exclusively in the stained glass world not only producing numerous pieces for sale through local art shows, but also teaching in the field when he was living in New Jersey. A full size reproduction of a Frank Lloyd Wright window for his own home sat at the very top of his bucket list for many years and, when completed, was considered the highlight of his works. But it left him still wanting more.
After moving to North Carolina, he turned his attention to glass fusing and has set about studying and perfecting a variety of techniques, determined to learn as much as he could about all the intricacies of how glass behaves in a kiln.
