Hello, my name is Rick Streitfeld. I started Art Windows in 1996 and have been in the arts and optical glass industry for over 30 years. I enjoy meeting new clients who know and appreciate the value of art glass.

In designing windows, special attention is paid not only to the artistic placement of each piece of glass, but also to insuring quality craftsmanship. At Art Windows, I use the very best process to create a secure seal and a stable window. Leaded windows are meant to last 75 years or more, before restoration may be needed. I strive to build to these highest standards. In addition, I use a wide spectrum of color, unique textures and the highest quality glass in the design of our windows. Although I enjoy building every window from start to finish, I now work together with several artists and craftsmen to complete the building process more efficiently. Cutting my own glass for the most detailed color windows are still of utmost important to me. This allows me to make the artistic choices necessary to create a window which stands out from the rest. Over the years, I have insisted on working with some of the finest glass available to artists around the world. Kokomo Glass, one of my favorites for textures and color, is one of many manufacturers I work with frequently. Unique hand blown Rondels are highlighted in several of my abstract windows. Another manufacturer, Bullseye Glass, also has quite a selection of interesting glass which you will see in many of my leaded windows. German Antique bevels are some of my favorite. Custom hand made here in Southern California, I love to at least show my clients the difference and let them choose. American Bevels, additionally are a very high quality bevel, featuring 1/4" thick glass and are used in many of my windows.

I take great pride in my work here and never tire of seeing the light shine through a new art window. I look forward to each new art creation and the excitement and joy it brings to our clients lives.
