Bio

I began making handmade lampwork glass beads several years ago which started from a desire to learn to make contemporary glass marbles. I love the contemporary art glass marbles, and in researching how to make them, I began by making beads. And now I'm hooked on beads. I enjoy making sculptural beads the most. I work in my home studio in Riverside, CA. All of my beads are kiln annealed for strength and durability.
