Leigh Waggoner is a lover of light and color, of emptiness and flow.  And rocks!  Seven years ago she encountered mosaics that didn't look like bathroom walls.  They had depth.  It was then she realized that the way the light plays with glass could be accompanied by the solidity of stone, and that none of it had to be a "picture."  All her doodles of childhood suddenly held potential...design potential.  She was off and running. 

Moving quickly from glued down and mortared stained glass to thick Italian glass cut with the ancient hand tools of hammer and hardie to travertine and marble, Waggoner had found her element.  She revels in the juxtaposition of glass and stone and the exploration of materials that allow her to build three-dimensional substrates. 

Her work is often described as unique and visually inventive.
