Returning to Art Years Later, with Impact: Margaret Malishchak of Glass4Good, Ep. 130
- Returning to Art Years Later, with Impact: Margaret Malishchak of Glass4Good, Ep. 130 Kate Cherichello 18:48
Stained glass artist Margaret Malishchak proves new chapters don’t have to mean leaving other passions behind for good.
After loving creating stained glass as a young adult, Margaret then shifted her focus to her growing family and other aspects of life, her art supplies packed away in her Madison, NJ basement. But this was a ‘see you later’ not a ‘goodbye’– a great reminder to all of us that we can step away from one passion to focus on another, and it does not have to mean we are leaving it forever.
Fast forward more than 25 years, Margaret’s daughter asked about the boxes in the basement. They took out the supplies, and Margaret began again– with a twist. With all the pieces she was creating, she realized she had a way of giving back, and began donating 100% of the sales of ALL her works to charities.
Four years later, this continues, and she has donated $15,700 thus far (perhaps even more since this writing!).
