A door isn’t just a door and a window isn’t just a window once Jim Anderson has added his masterly touch to it. Known for his layered stained glass, he describes his work as “illuminated paintings.” The premier stained glass artist on the East Coast, Anderson creates one-of-a-kind pieces for the finest homes in Boston, New York and even as far away as South Africa. For more than 30 years, his studio has continued the tradition of this rare art with craftsmanship that has been passed down since the Middle Ages. Jim Anderson Stained Glass is one of the few studios in the world that does painted, etched and engraved glass from original designs. Jim Anderson has been featured on television programs including “This Old House,” “Restore America,” and on the History Channel.

Whether working with home-owners, architects, builders and interior designers on interior or exterior doors, windows, transoms, room dividers or decorative pieces, Anderson knows what colors, patterns, and textures work best with one another, guiding his clients through the design process. He has had a lifelong passion for architecture, so it comes as no surprise that Anderson deftly blends magnificent design with stained, engraved and etched glass to create masterpieces that are sure to be his legacy.
