"Across the Universe"
33.5 in w x 29 in h (sold!)
Hello, and welcome to my site. My name is Pamela Benjamin. I am a native of New Zealand, relocated to Australia as an adult and now live in west Michigan, in the U.S.
I began working with glass and windows in 2006. I use glue to attach textured glass, stained or colored glass, beads, buttons, found objects, and bits of jewelry to framed windows. I primarily work with windows that are antique or reclaimed from older homes. My designs are meant to evoke movement and happiness, and in general have a very organic, flowing feel to them. I typically create windows using one of the following themes: deep space or the night sky; naive or folk art that includes trees and barns; dancing figures in the style of a harlequin. I hope you enjoy the site! To see more images of my work, please look at my Flickr site.

All of my hand-crafted windows reflect my sense of humor and my character. It makes me feel good to spend time creating beautiful things out of glass; in fact, this has become a major way for me to express myself. I am never sure what a window will look like, or how it will come out, but I can tell you that my windows make people smile. I include a small shoe in every design (look for it!) – that is how you will know the window was made by me. If the shoe fits, I say, wear it!
I sell my windows at the Fulton Street Artisan’s Market. A small diptych window (two pieces, each about 18 inches tall by 12 inches wide) sells for about $100. A larger “casement” window might sell for $195. Even larger windows, such as those which are 31 inches wide by 26 inches high, are priced at $245. Please use this contact form to tell me if you would like to purchase a window. Thank you!
