Your artwork transmits clarity to me, a light of happiness, a light of childhood when the sun illuminated everything.

Practices

Public Art

Stained Glass & Architectural Art

Scott Parsons creates large-scale public stained glass installations that transform civic and cultural spaces through light, color, and narrative. Each custom stained glass commission is designed in dialogue with its architectural setting—integrating contemporary design with time-honored glass techniques.

From airports to universities, these architectural stained glass artworks serve as beacons—inviting reflection, enhancing public space, and creating lasting visual identity through light.

Liturgical Art

Liturgical Stained Glass & Sacred Art

Specializing in liturgical stained glass, Scott Parsons designs and fabricates windows for churches, chapels, and sacred spaces. Rooted in tradition yet distinctly contemporary, each custom church stained glass window reflects theological depth, symbolism, and the spiritual life of the community.

These stained glass installations for worship spaces use light as a medium of devotion—shaping atmosphere, telling sacred stories, and elevating the experience of the liturgy.

Commissions and Process

Architectural Stained Glass

Scott Parsons creates custom stained glass commissions for public, civic, and sacred spaces—working collaboratively with architects, designers, and clergy from concept through installation. Each stained glass project begins with site-specific research and design, ensuring seamless integration with the surrounding architecture and a thoughtful response to light, scale, and context.

The stained glass design and fabrication process combines drawing, material exploration, and traditional craftsmanship with contemporary techniques. Specializing in both architectural stained glass and liturgical stained glass, each installation is created to endure—serving as a lasting expression of identity, purpose, and place.
