Stained Glass: A Window To Your Soul
Friday March 2nd 2007

Anne Marie Le Flohic, after a high profile career in medicine, has recently moved to Ireland and set up her own stained glass design business in Dungarvan, Co Waterford.

Born in Benin (Western Africa) from Breton parents and train there and in France, she originally specialised in medicine and for the last 35 years she worked at the Brest University Hospital where she taught mainly tropical diseases and was the head of the Parasitology Laboratory.

Five years ago she decided to learn stained glass techniques in Paris (The Andrieux's school) and then in Greoux les Bains (L'Iris Bleu). She decided to transform her hobby into a business and moved to Ireland where she feels deeply at home as Ireland is a Celtic country as Brittany.

Her individual creations are characterized by unique patterns, and invite the viewer to enter a transformed world. Her stylised panels explore mythical themes while her modern ones stir imagination and a sense of wonder. To enhance the light is important for Anne Marie. She catches it and transforms it making the stained glass panel the most important feature in the house around which the whole house turns and evolves all along the day.

Stained glass should express your uniqueness, privacy and most secret hopes. Triskell design proposes unique pieces designed exclusively for you. Anne Marie with her empathic understanding of your needs and her disciplined skill will assist you from the initial design, helping you to choose the glass before to finalise your project. Should you wish Triskell design can work from a photograph, drawing, a simple idea or suggest a motif easily adapted to your tastes and environment. Different kind of stained glass can easily be incorporated into a modern house door panels, windows (outer or inner), mobile or fixed screens, table tops, sun-catchers, mural panels which can he lit or not. Triskell design will suggest other possibilities. Taking into account the size and type of stained glass as well as its final destination Triskell design will suggest you to use traditional panels with lead or Tiffany technique. If you already have double-glazing it is most often possible to fix the stain glass panel to the window or the door and keep the double glazing.
