Glass by Gomm Studio in the Covey Center<\/p><\/div>\n

After Salt Lake and Park City, it’s time for some Utah County glass with an exhibit of the glasswork of David andJeanne Gomm at the Covey Center in Provo. The husband and wife team are featuring works of stained and sandblasted glass with Lynde Mott, who is showing her oil paintings at the show entitled, \u201cVisions of Light.\u201d\u00a0 The opening reception, which was attended by hundreds of visitors\u00a0despite\u00a0rain and snow, was part of Provo’s First Friday Gallery Stroll. Jeanne and David attended the reception to teach the guests about stained glass.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis show really came together,\u201d said Jeanne. \u201cWe like the way the hanging stained glass floats in the air in the center of the room, and Lynde\u2019s paintings fill the walls with vivid colors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gomm Studios built a four-panel stained glass scene (above<\/em>)\u00a0in mostly clear textured glass especially for The Covey Center for the Arts.\u00a0 The mountain scene which is on display throughout the show, is a representation of the actual mountain skyline to the East of the arts center, even featuring the \u201cY\u201d on the mountainside.<\/p>\n

David said the stained glass looks better during the day. He encouraged guests who attended the reception to come back during the next day to see the windows.<\/p>\n

About the Artists
\n<\/strong>Jeanne and David Gomm build stained glass windows in their home studio in Provo. They build stained glass in the style that Louis Comfort Tiffany pioneered in the late 1800\u2019s which is a very labor intensive method, but is very strong and allows them to create a great deal of detail that other methods wouldn\u2019t allow. They have designed and built stained glass windows together since 1983. After receiving a B.S. in Education with a minor in Industrial Arts, David taught stained glass at Missouri Southern State University. Their company built many large commissions including a 13\u2019 Nativity scene for the city of Piece City. Jeanne has been teaching and designing stained glass for over 20 years. In 2000, they moved to Provo, Utah and started building stained glass full time in 2001. They have seven children, and 11 grandchildren.
