I beautiful article about the owner of Attenhofer's Stained Glass, and her love of the arts.

 I love surrounding myself with other like-minded talented artists,” she said. “I still get excited about projects and I can’t express the feeling of accomplishment when we mount our work. I have been able to be an integral part of several new churches, and it is an honor I never dreamed would happen to me.”  Cynthia especially loves to see the historic artwork come back from a destroyed condition.  Attenhofer’s also provides services from gently cleaning and performing maintenance on historic glass to creating and fabricating new pieces.
