Dramatic view
“We highly recommend Amy Brooks! She goes the extra mile to ensure you get exactly what you want. We have a west-facing living room with a wall of glass. We needed to find a way to reduce the afternoon sun in our transoms. Having a love of the arts, we decided to explore commissioning a stained-glass artist, hoping to transform this area into a work of art using the incoming sun to our advantage. We did our research and found Amy Brooks at Paradise Custom Glass. After one meeting with her, we knew she was the person to help us. She listened to what we wanted and created the perfect custom artwork for our space. What an artist! Thank you, Amy. It was a pleasure to work with you!”

Kitchen cabinet windows
“I just wanted to tell you how much we LOVE our new cabinet windows. They are truly exceptional and eye-catching, all while fitting seamlessly into our kitchen.
It was so much fun working with you from start to finish. I really appreciate your professionalism, dependability and artistic talent. I feel lucky to have such beautiful custom artwork in my home.”

Floral stained glass window
“In my life, I've worked with contractors, painters, and many other people that have brought their skills to the work I wanted done. Very few, and by very few I mean two, have completely exceeded my expectations. You (Amy) are one of them. What makes you exceptional is your ability to make each person feel as though they are your only client. That's not a skill like hammering a nail, it's an ability to empathize with your client while deeply understanding their needs. I had an idea, nothing more than that. You led me through a journey that drew from the journey I was on to bring the idea to life.
What you created was a perfect memory for me and I will be forever grateful.”

Stained glass art
"When I started the project with Amy, I had a vague idea of what I wanted, but no more than that. After we sat down and went over some design concepts, the windows began to coalesce and become real in my mind. The collaborative process was a very rewarding thing to be part of and the end results were more than I could have hoped for. The two windows Amy did for me are very much focal points in my house design. Looking forward to another project in the future!"

Custom transom and sidelights
“My husband and I knew we wanted to put in stain glass windows in our newly built home. I did a little research online and came up with Amy’s name. From the moment I contacted her I knew this was going to be the perfect fit. She listened to my wants and encouraged me to go online and look at stained glass windows that appealed to me. From start to finish it was an easy process and an enjoyable one. She knew immediately from what I saved on Pinterest the type of design that we liked and what she drew was just perfect! Amy is a true artist and an amazing person. I cannot recommend her highly enough. We are so grateful we found her and she completed our home in a way that brings us pleasure every day.”

Stairway window
"I have been living in my home for 36 years and always wanted a stain glass window for my stairway landing window. I went to an estate sale and saw a very pretty stain glass window. I met with Amy and we discussed what I liked. I began sending pictures of many stain glass windows to her. When we met for the second time she had sketched an awesome design of flowers & vines and we picked out colored glass. When Amy & her husband came to install my window I was so amazed by this gorgeous piece of art she created. It is just absolutely perfect!"

Unique stained glass pieces
“Amy Brooks of Paradise glass is an incredible artist and the detail she puts into her work is amazing. I’m no stain glass expert but if I were, I’d say she’s the best I’ve ever worked with. Not only is Amy a great person, her Paradise Glass company is a must see and must use for any stain glass project you may want done!”

Bathroom privacy
”I wanted to express my heartfelt thank you for the beautiful window. It was such a pleasure working with you throughout the process. I loved seeing and being a small part of your methodology throughout your creative process, from design to choosing glass, to seeing the finished window. You have a true instinct for picking up on and guiding my choices making this a truly personal piece for me. My obsession with aquatics is beautifully captured in this window. Rich said it best when he first saw the window installed - he said it looks like “water sheeting off the glass in different colors and patterns” - totally capturing me. I found myself standing in front of it periodically throughout the day to see the effects of the changing sun light.
I can’t adequately express my thanks except to reiterate how much we appreciate your talent and gift.”

Frank Lloyd Wright style transom
“We were in need of putting a covering over a transom window as the sun was blinding at dinner hour. shade-no curtain-no. Both my wife and I love the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. After finding Amy on the internet we began the layout, colors and some very intricate ways of hiding mullion bars in the transom. Amy is beyond talented and very artistic. Our window has only been installed for two days and with the use of some of our favorite colors along with the visual aspect makes the entire room seem almost like we are in a gallery. We would highly recommend Amy to create a project that you have imagined. Drawing on her past body of work and your own input we are sure that you would be quite satisfied with the results.”

Custom family tree
“We got the tree safely home to my parents' place in upstate New York. Before we went out to dinner, we gave her the tree, wrapped and secure in bubble wrap. When she finally got it open, she immediately became enthralled, looking it over to see all of the names. She said it was the perfect gift for her after she spent a few decades looking for a branch of her family that she knew existed but had never met until her search paid off. She liked the design of the tree as well as the use of various shades of green for the leaves. Her next task is to find a good place to hang it so people can see it. She wants to put a light behind it eventually because of how translucent it is but just getting it on the wall is more important at the moment. This was the right gift at the right time for all the right reasons.“

Arts & Crafts style sidelights
“We are so happy with the way our sidelight windows came out. Amy is helpful and responsive and very easy to collaborate with. We highly recommend Amy-she is a pleasure to work with and her stained glass creations are stunning!”

Custom stained glass pendant lamps
"We renovated our kitchen and were looking for lampshades to give the area a pleasant and appealing look. At one of the street fairs we met Amy and asked if she would be able to create something unique and interesting. We exchanged ideas, worked on different versions of the design and before long the lampshades were ready. One of my concerns was that it is hard to see the final product when looking at raw materials: big sheets of stained glass, wire, and blueprints with design. But it worked out very well. Once you enter Amy's shop, there are a lot of options to chose from. Different types of material, design patterns. And what is important Amy is very flexible and tries hard to deliver a product that you will like. The lampshades look fabulous. Exactly what we were looking for. Many thanks for such a beautiful work of art!!"

Traditional stained glass
"I am delighted with the custom made stained glass window panel created by Amy. I knew I wanted a panel for my dining room window, and I knew I wanted to incorporate the White Rose of Yorkshire to honor my heritage. I also knew I liked 'symmetry'. Other than that, I had no idea what I wanted in terms of artistic representation! Amy was so wonderful at patiently guiding me through the process, offering ideas, listening to my thoughts, incorporating them and eventually coming up with an absolutely perfect design. I love the result and am so happy to have a unique window panel that has such special meaning. Amy is a true joy to work with, and I have no doubt that I will be asking her to create something else for me soon!"

Distinctive leaded glass dining room windows
"When I decided I wanted to add some stained glass to my home, Paradise Glass was recommended to me through a friend. From the beginning of the design process, Amy was always ready to listen to my ideas and also to incorporate her own. She is very easy to communicate with, and I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity of creating a piece of stained glass that was unique to my own.
Once we settled on the design and colors of the glass, the process to have the windows made and installed was very timely. The first time I saw the windows, I couldn't believe how beautiful they were! It was so nice to be involved in the process from start to finish, and I can't wait to work with Amy again!"

Modern style privacy sidelights
"Our new home came with sidelights in the entrance way equipped with clear glass. We wanted a way to increase privacy and hit upon the idea of installing stained glass. Amy was very professional, a pleasure to work with, and sensitive to our personal style. She corresponded with us frequently so that we remained comfortable every step of the way. The designs she composed for us were beyond our expectations and showed her versatility and talent as an artist. The end result was truly spectacular!"
