A Custom Stained And Beveled Glass Boutique Studio

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for men. Remember that the Lord will give you as a reward what he has kept for his people. For Christ is the real Master you serve." --Colossians 3:23,24

"Your talent is God's gift to you. Using it well is your gift to God"--Red Skelton, Comedian

David Wixon, President and Artistic Director

Prior to founding this firm, Dave was a business consultant and college business administration professor for nearly 20 years at schools including Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, DePaul University, University of Illinois at Chicago and Wheaton College.

As a political science undergraduate in what was at that time the new field of city management, Dave studied widely in the areas of urban history, city planning and urban renewal. Attending a liberal arts university, he was also broadly exposed to the humanities. This combination fostered a lifelong interest in architecture, other environmental art, restoration and fine art, in general.

While teaching and consulting in promotion management and related graphic arts, Dave established David Wixon & Associates, Inc., in Glen Ellyn, suburban Chicago, Illinois, to help firms with their marketing needs. A series of projects that resulted in the use of original stained glass in signs and advertising artwork created by Dave provided the impetus to develop his passion for stained glass into a business endeavor.

By associating himself with other highly qualified expert craftspeople for a rigorous training in architectural glass and studio operation, Dave expanded David Wixon & Associates, Inc., also known as Wixon Art Glass, into the full-service, full-time professional stained glass studio that it is today.

Dave involves himself in some manner in every project undertaken at David Wixon & Associates, Inc.

For over 30 years Dave has also been the regular drummer in the Mad Monks of Melody Traditional Jazz Band. The Mad Monks are widely enjoyed for the "joie de vivre" of their Dixieland style of music. They are known throughout the Midwest for their jazz worship services in which they lead congregations in singing favorite old time hymns in the New Orleans jazz funeral style.
