Don Spencer began his career in mosaic stained glass in 1997, apprenticing with renowned artist Khaim Pinkhasik. Their collaboration eventually led to a shared studio in Chicago and a lifelong dedication to the medium.

From public installations in Puerto Vallarta to the Holy Wisdom Monastery in Wisconsin, Don’s work is recognized for its vibrant storytelling. His portfolio includes celebrated projects like the Madison Cow Parade and recurring features in Art On Main.

Currently, Don teaches in Middleton, WI, and Saugatuck, MI, while continuing to explore new, streamlined techniques in his own practice. This site catalogs his professional history: Don’s original works are cataloged by number, while pieces by his mentor, Khaim, are marked with capital letters. Inquiries regarding dimensions and pricing for available pieces are always welcome.

"My work uses a very different Stained Glass Technique called Glass Mosaic. The pieces of glass I use are small, often tiny, and equivalent to paint placed by the stroke of a brush. Many different textures are natural to the fine, hand-rolled glasses I use. The tiny glass pieces, surrounded by a thin line of grout, create additional texture much as brushwork does with paint."
