Self taught, Steve has been in service to communities dedicated to growth,
education, service, or of a spiritual nature most of the time since
then. Fixing things is his version of “chopping wood and carrying water”. The
spectrum of these communities range from years working at Esalen
Institute to years working for a Catholic monastery and as well as
Heartwood. Consequently, he has been exposed to a multitude of philosophies and thought systems.

Vangie Pullins

In July 1994 I cut my first piece of glass. It was like stepping from a dim room into the light. All of the pieces fit, truly, and every pun intended. Though my initial instruction was in a group of 25 to 1 teacher, I was determined to learn everything I could and began designing small things like sun catchers and jewelry. Thoroughly encouraged by many, I established Aurora Colors in July 1996, providing custom designed stained glass windows for homes and businesses.
