Born in Germany 1952, Klaus Brucksch has studied and worked for many years as a scientist in Germany. When he migrated to Australia in the mid 1980s he conducted his own business as a stained glass artist, specialising in ecclesiastical designs and restorations. In the early nineties he developed a new form of glass fusing and created glass ornaments and jewellery with striking colours and great individuality.
In 2005, Klaus moved from a 20 year Tasmanian experience, where most of his stained glass art windows can be observed, to Kuranda, another rainforest paradise.
Today Klaus produces his unique fused glass windows and paintings in close contact with local aboriginal artists.
