Stained Glass

The stained glass window contains artistic designs found on the Ishtar Gate in Babylon. In the center, from the left to right, are a cuneiform tablet, an imaginative portrait of King Ashurbanipal, and an open Bible containing verses that reference Assyrian's future, (Isaiah 19 Verses 23-25).

Joseph Badalpour began as a painter, graduating from the American Academy of Art in Chicago where he studied fine arts, figure drawing, and portraiture. In the course of his studies, he developed a passion for working with glass. In 1975, he founded Circle Studio, Inc. and has since devoted his talent to creating unique pieces of stained glass, and has crafted stunning windows and three-dimensional projects ranging from naturalistic and representational to abstract and interpretive. Joseph Badalpour is often called to create stained glass windows for a variety of churches in Chicago and abroad. Many times he has drawn upon his talent for portraits to complete these projects. Joseph currently serves as the Director of the ACF Fine Arts Program.
