Meet the Artist, Dr. Anna M. Avola

When Dr. Anna Avola built her first dental office in Naples, Florida in 1982 she needed to create a space where patients would feel relaxed and a place that reflected an open and honest atmosphere. The walls had to have more than pictures of teeth or smiles – stained glass was the answer!

Dr. Anna went to work designing and creating unique pieces of stained glass art. As you entered her reception room and headed over to the front desk, patients would see a 5 x 2 foot window of stained glass that included bright colors and contoured ruby red jewels! It was an immediate conversation starter and a great way to start a relationship.

Now 42 years later and retired from the practice of dentistry, Dr. Anna is still mastering her craft and offering to her customers the hope that they will find stained glass art a way to open great conversations with friends and family.
