ABOUT THE ARTIST

These beautiful windows are the creations of Jenny Rose Busche who studied the technique for these windows with Chicago artist Don Brown, inventor extraordinaire in 1975 after returning from her travels in Australia and Europe. This modern application of commercial grade materials, already in use, was originally formulated for the sign writing industry. The art window technique, which involves using acrylic sheet, fiberglass beading and transparent and translucent acrylic color, now creates a window which offers the beauty of stained glass and a greater flexibility suitable to today's architecture.

"This is not a substitute for stained glass or leaded glass," Jenny says, "We are giving people another choice, an alternative. We consider our technique a new window art form. We use new materials and new designs and borrow the old concept of beauty with vibrant colors then we add light and lines like leaded windows. The end product is viable in today´s market and is strikingly beautiful."

Jenny started in the Acrylic Window Art business with sister and artist, Cheryle Buschelman. The sisters arrived in Texas in 1977 in search of a sunnier climate, a rosier future and wider horizons for their budding business as artists for the homeowner and business person. The real estate boom in Dallas offered a great opportunity. Acceptance and appreciation for their art was swift. The beginning of was clearly at hand. Cheryle and Jenny saw some changes ahead, and prepared for the economic slump of the 80's. They sold the Dallas business and Cheryle departed to Houston, where she continues with the trade now located in San Leon, TX. Jenny adventured further by making a return trip to Australia. Since Jenny’s return in 1989, Jenny has resided in Texas. Jenny Rose operated her studio since 1994 in Austin, TX. and more recently is located in Smithville, TX

Jenny Rose’s work can be currently viewed at the 22 Texas Land and Cattle Restaurants in Texas and neighboring states. Also available for viewing is the pair of windows at the Coppertank Brewery and some at Opal Divine’s on W 6th St, in Austin, TX. Also a Religious application is easily viewed at the New Salem Baptist Church on FM812 off S. 183 behind the Airport.
