Brandi Hines-Lee is a dedicated business owner, wife, mother, and grandmother. As a third-generation stained glass artist, she proudly leads the way in transforming her family’s legacy into a full-time career. Brandi and her children are recognized as Cherokee TERO Certified Artists. At Agitsi, they create custom pieces and operate a state-of-the-art teaching studio that offers glass and supplies. Agitsi Stained Glass was founded in 2017 in Brandi’s shed. The following year, she transitioned to a shared rental space. By the end of 2019 and the start of 2020, she expanded her offerings to include supply sales and moved into her own studio in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. By 2022, she had outgrown that space and in January 2023, relocated to her current studio in the Art Emporium66 building, situated in Tulsa’s historic Red Fork District along Route 66. Brandi’s work has garnered attention, being featured on Good Morning America and Discover Oklahoma. She is an award-winning artist, and her studio has received accolades year after year, including titles such as Best Hands-On Art Studio, Visual Merchandising, and Art Organization. Passionate about arts education and culture, she has inspired many of her students to pursue entrepreneurship in the glass industry. Brandi has held various leadership roles within The Stained-Glass Guild of Oklahoma, serving as President, Vice President, and Treasurer. It’s clear that Agitsi, which means “My Mother” in Cherokee, is guided by the hands of a true master.
