The Kailua Village Artists featured member artist for the month of August is stained glass artist Bill Jaeger.
Recently Bill Jaeger was asked for a single word that describes his art, process, or mindset while creating it. He responded “SUPERPOWER! That word resonates with me as I transform plain old glass into art making it my superpower. What is yours?”
During his featured month, Jaeger will be featuring a variety of new work, which includes a vintage auto, 3 Dolphins, and a transom, which will demonstrate this Superpower. Fans of his work will also be happy to see a full range of local favorites – nightlights, sun catchers, Honus, and smaller stained-glass panels as well.
Jaeger learned the art of stained glass some 45 years ago. When he moved to the Big Island in 2004, he had the luxury to completely immerse himself in the art and stretch his creative capabilities. Since then, he has developed a style and skill evident in every piece he makes; each being an original design created out of hand cut glass then soldered together using the copper foil method.
To meet featured artist Bill Jaeger and see his latest work, come, and talk story with him when is at the gallery on Sundays, August 13, and 27, 2023. While working in the gallery, he will be demonstrating the stained-glass technique, copper foiling, which is used to create a panel. The Kailua Village Artists Gallery is located at 75-5729 Ali’i Drive, Suite C-110 in the Kona Marketplace in Kailua-Kona. The gallery is open daily from 10 am – 5 pm.
