About the Instructor: My name is Jona Siverly, and I began working with stained glass in 2020. Growing up between the mountains of Colorado and living aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean, I draw inspiration from the ocean and mountains in my art. Through stained glass and mosaic work, I explore the colors, stories, and natural beauty of the places that have shaped my life. In Colorado, my artwork is displayed at Art Alive Gallery in Frisco and the ArtSpace Gallery in Eagle and in the Virgin Islands my art is displayed at the Caribbean Museum Center for The Arts in St. Croix and St. Thomas. I had a solo exhibition at the Vail Public Library. In 2025, my work was featured in the Colorado Mountain College Vail Valley Fine Art Show, where my surfboard mosaic won Best in 3-D Art. I continue to create original stained glass and mosaic artwork inspired by the connection between mountains and sea. Lending influences from Colorado’s alpine landscapes and the Caribbean’s islands and waters.
