The cancer toll at Washington National Cathedral this year has been heartbreaking. Mary Clerkin Higgins was a great master of stained glass art and her work should persist at Washington National Cathedral for centuries to come, mostly credited to Rowan LeCompte. See the film Let There Be Light to see some of Mary's work. Rest in peace, Mary. It was a great pleasure knowing you
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I pass on the news that Grand Master of stained glass Mary Clerkin Higgins passed away yesterday. She had been courageously battling cancer for several years and it finally got to her.
She was an amazing, fearless woman and a trail blazer in her male dominated profession. I feel privileged to have had an opportunity to spend time with her in her studio and high on the scaffolding. Our deepest sympathies go out to her family. The entire stained glass community is mourning this loss.
