Howdy Y’all!

I’m Blaine, otherwise known as BopBop ‘round these parts. Welcome to my stained glass wonderland! 🌈 As an artist, I play with light and color, creating magic out of delicate shards of glass.

My Journey

My artistic journey began with seeing the creations my great uncle made in his studio while I was growing up. He created so many special pieces for our family and worked in his studio every day. Although I looked up to him and his creations, I didn’t get a chance to learn from him. I’m self-taught and continue to develop my craftsmanship- learning new techniques, discovering new tools, and creating patterns for pieces.

My Style

My style is a fusion of tradition and innovation. I honor the techniques passed down through generations—the lead lines that cradle each fragment, the meticulous selection of colors, and the careful balance of opacity and translucency. But within these boundaries, I play. You’ll find me blending traditional motifs with contemporary themes. I try to celebrate love, identity, and sometimes silliness through my work.

What Inspires Me

Nature, mythology, and queer history inspire my work. The iridescence of dragonfly wings, the adorable face of your puppy baby, the tales of forgotten goddesses, and the courage of those who dared to love beyond societal norms all find their way into my glass canvases. I believe that art is a bridge between worlds, and stained glass is my way of bridging the earthly and the divine.
