Launching Phoebe Art
Ed, my husband, has been creating and selling stained glass art in his community for years. This past summer, we decided to join our artistic forces and set up a booth in at the Youngstown State Festival of the Arts.
With glass, recycled/ upcycled art, we've been exploring artistic visions ever since.
We came to the name "Phoebe" is based on our own interests - Ed now has 7 birdfeeders in the backyard and watches them avidly.
Phoebe is also the name for the moon and a flowering plant - parts of the outdoors I love.
An image here is on of Ed's stained glass creations. It measures 8" in diameter.
