“Each time a piece leaves my studio I feel a little bit of my soul is going with it”.

As an award-winning glass artist with a love of the ocean and a strong Jewish faith these are the main sources of inspiration for each other pieces available for sale.

Art glass was the key that opened the doors for me and my family into beautiful Prince Edward Island from Buenos Aires, Argentina, 15 years ago.It allowed me to start a new journey. Even though I relocated to Cobourg, Ontario 5 years ago, the ocean colours and designs are still standing strong on the East coast where my brand was created. And as of March 1st in Toronto, Ontario.

Beauty, simplicity, elegance and functionality are essential components in my designs. At my studio, I'm always looking for that special blend of colour and texture that leads me to each piece of art I carefully design. I treat glass as if it were a human being, by respecting it and not pushing it. This allows my to understand its flow, displacement, behaviour, and action up to its most intricate inner part… Its core. That is why I always say: “Each time a piece leaves my studio I feel a little bit of my soul is going with it”.
