Commemorative Etched Glass Memorial Plaque Art for Coach John Knight
I was commissioned to design and create this etched glass memorial featuring black glass plaques to commemorate “Coach Knight”, the long time football coach at Oak Park High School in Westlake Village area. The type and eagles are etched into the glass depicting the school mascot, the eagle. Each plaque is enclosed inside a stainless steel case to protect it, and these cases are cast into concrete. The etched glass memorial sits just outside the oval running track where Coach Knight trained countless young athletes over the years. My goal was to create a long standing memorial that will memorialize Coach Knight for generations to come, and I think we succeeded quite nicely!
