Susan Troxill started working with stained glass while living in Vancouver. While most of us start small and progress to larger pieces of glass, Susan started big by making three seven-foot panels for the end of her daughter’s patio providing privacy and beauty.
Susan and her husband, Don, started coming to PebbleCreek in 2000 to visit friends. While Don golfed, Susan would be in the glass studio as her friend’s guest turning others’ scrap glass into circles and other shapes for her projects. The visits became more frequent and lasted longer until they bought their own home in 2009. Susan joined the Glass Arts Club that same year and started working in fused glass, again starting big! She has wall art that includes a gecko, a crane, and a koi all measuring up to two–and–one-half feet by four feet, and she created door panels that fitted together are six–and–one-half feet tall.
Since becoming full time residents in 2022, Susan is also enjoying exercise classes and book clubs, but her passion remains in glass arts. She still does stained glass, turning ordinary lanterns into works of art, and her “witchy women” are her most recent and very popular fused glass projects. She is pictured above with several of her witchy women.
