Contemporary Southwest Art Glass is the work of Lee Baldwin, an Arizona artist with over 30 years' background in the visual arts. Baldwin's art is primarily cut and leaded glass panels and sculptures with a lean, understated Southwest flavor.

(72 in. X 30 in.) Diptych Moderne is definitely retro, harking back to the Arts and Crafts movement style, or to Art Deco.
This is a pair of free-hanging art glass panels in separate brass frames, and may
be hung in a window or as a space divider, or placed in an exterior or interior wall.
Diptych Moderne is currently available for purchase.

(104 in. X 39 in.) Divided Union is a large architectural diptych, the design works like a collage, with overlapping sympathetic designs "torn" so that one shows through the other.

(72 in. X 24 in.) This sunrise design fuses the natural view of the dawn sky
with the spiritual view of hope and optimism in a new morning.
The totemic thunderbird rises above the sun swirling in the turbulent
lower atmosphere and mesa shapes in shilouette.
This free-hanging panel is framed in raw iron. It may be hung as an interior divider,
or installed in an exterior or interior wall.
Thunderbird Sunrise is currently available for purchase

(35 in. X 35 in.) Inspired by proximity to the energy vortices of Sedona, AZ, Vortex 32 is a spare, lightly-stated conflict of forces, encircled by a twisting ribbon.

Since 1973, Lee Baldwin (1942- ) has designed and fabricated original artworks in flat glass. The panels coming from Baldwin’s studio are distinguished by spatial and multiplanar abstraction, as well as a clean, sometimes minimal, design motif reminiscent of some Shoji screens.
In addition to autonomous works for exhibition, Baldwin has worked with interior designers and architects, creating a large body of original glass installations now on display in corporate offices, residences, and public buildings in the Western U.S., Canada, and Hawaii.
Trained as a classical and jazz pianist since age 3, educated in mathematics at the University of California, Riverside, Baldwin credits this background for his ability to find a unique departure for each design. Self-taught as an artist, Baldwin prefers to develop techniques that convey his vision, rather than learning a body of technique per se. Full portfolio and other info at www.sleepingdeer.com.
