Girdwood’s latest stained glass mosaic has just been completed. 

Named “the Cozmic Culvert” and done in the style of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night, the mosaic depicts the night sky in Girdwood. The new mosaic was designed  by Thalia Wilkinson and Tommy O’Malley and was installed by volunteers.

Local astronomer John Gallup sited the design so that the stars of the Big Dipper will align with the North Star up in the night sky at winter solstice.  

The new mosaic is on  Timberline  Drive near Gstaad street.
