A series of fused glass windows is being created for Fire Station 104 in Santa Clarita, California, commissioned by the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture. For the project, Anne-Elizabeth partnered with Judson Studios, a South Pasadena–based firm that will fabricate the windows from her designs and under her direction. Longtime Santa Clarita firefighter and artist Rich Hall also served as liaison for the project.

The theme of “fire” has played an integral part in Anne- Elizabeth’s life: when she was 17 years old, her childhood home in Pasadena burned to the ground in an electrical fire. Today, decades later, her two grown sons are Emergency Medical Technicians. In creating the windows for the fire station, Sobieski wanted their design and imagery to capture the tradition, camaraderie, service and excellence that reflect the life of a firefighter.
