Art on Fire
I have been a professional, working artist for over
20 years and I consider myself so blessed to be able
to do something I love every day!
I began my career as an artist in 1993 working with clay
and creating my original ceramic wall sculptures.
I began working with hot glass in the form of lampwork
bead making in 2004. Lampworking ignited a passion for
glass work and so my next creative adventure was
working with glass in the form of glass fusing or
kiln formed glass. I have been able to translate many
of my ceramic designs into kiln formed glass pieces.
Coming full circle, I am now sculpting in a fun
new silver medium which when fired, leaves a beautiful
.999 pure silver work of art.
Experimenting with color, texture and form has always
been at the center of my artwork. Whether it is a
formed glass sculpture or of a piece of jewelry,
each item is a hand built original and therefore
no two are ever alike.
My “work” continues to be a combination of play,
work and prayer all rolled into one and for me, the
single most rewarding part of this journey continues
to be experiencing another person’s reaction to
something that I have created and knowing that
even if only briefly, I have touched
or inspired them in some way.
