Welcome to my world of radiant hues, intricate designs, and the dance of light. I'm Sarah, the owner and artist behind The Garage On Leonard, based in Springfield, IL.

I started exploring the world of stained glass in 2021 and quickly fell in love with the art. In 2022, I decided to create a business out of it and began selling at small pop-up markets. Since then, I have created original stained glass pieces inspired by nature, dreamy thoughts, and functionality. From vibrant sun catchers to beautiful propagation stations and plant stakes, my art is diverse and can be tailored to suit your aesthetic as custom pieces are always an option.

I have a playfulness about me, that shows through my work and that is why I love what I do so much. ​As an artist, I am privileged to embrace playfulness in every design. I enjoy creating unique designs and playing with the various colors and textures of glass to bring joy to others.

My favorite aspect of my work is when the glass comes alive, dancing in the sunlight, offering a dynamic interplay that transforms my work into two separate pieces of art; the piece itself and its refraction. My goal with my art extends beyond the mere visual; it’s about creating an immersive experience for the viewer. I aim to evoke a range of emotions, from a sense of wonder and joy to self-reflection
