Amy Boughton’s goal is to lift one’s spirit through her art.
Amy’s creation of unique and personal stained glass art is not limited to her use of the finest glass in the world, or her ability to combine color, light, line and shape. With each undertaking, she strives to call forth the heightened sense one feels when the purest, most resonant note is sung by human or bird, or the light of a fading day reveals a view never seen before.
In the process, Boughton crafts custom art, with unrivaled visual quality and structural integrity.
What you might want to know, even if she doesn’t tell you: Amy . . .
- Has crafted original stained glass for 14 years.
- Studied her medium in Europe, Asia and the Far East. The great cathedrals made a strong impression, but she prefers a reflection of the individual’s contemporary mind.
- Once caught a 31-inch Steelhead Trout, much to the dismay of her father and her husband, who caught none.
- Can combine Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Zappa into one stained glass entryway, and actually make it look good. Frankly, her clients were quite impressed.
- Earned a degree in linguistics from the University of Montana, but has a heart full of stained glass.
- Is a member of the National Association of Home Builders, the Missoula Building Industry Association, Trout Unlimited, The Sierra Club and The Nature Conservancy.
- Created her first stained glass installation at the age of eight. The sun catcher still hangs in the window of her father’s cabin.
- Cannot count the number of architects, contractors and interior designers she’s worked with, even if she uses all her fingers and toes.
- Enjoys long walks in the woods with her Australian Shepherds, Rocky Rocket and Tilly. They help her sniff out a few ideas.
