Stained glass is somewhat of a dying art, but for the few artists who do it, it’s a medium that’s allowed for more creativity and innovation than just the traditional colored glass you see in church windows. Tennessee Crossroads met a woman in Old Hickory, Tennessee who’s putting her personal life into much more window panes.
