| Introduction | While in college, my summer job at the local stained glass shop would ulitmately take me on an incredible and rewarding journey. Glass has a power of magnetism. It draws me into a world of peace and tranquility with it’s transparency as well as opacity, it’s form and function. I am intrigued with the possibilites of what glass has to offer in all respects of application and use. This has led to me to study with some of the best and world renowned glass masters. I am honored to learn their techniques and to adapt them into my own transitions and perspectives. I work with stained glass methods as well as fused and hot glass methods. My focus is to make this world a much more beautiful place than how I found it by way of creating works of art from glass. I am not ever bound to traditional methods but also am intrigued to combine many techniques into any one project. My works are national as well as residing in international locations. |
