Who Am I?

From the time I was young I loved to design and create. Art is my passion. It just took me a while to find the right medium (my canvas paintings were truly only something a mother could love). A visit to Prague in 2002 and I fell in love and found my calling: GLASS.

I love everything about glass - the texture, the transparency, the color ... oooh do I love the color. I like to melt it and shape it and twist it around. I like to stack it high and melt it down to see where it goes. I like to cut it and shape it and fit it together like a puzzle. I like to wake up in the morning and see what happened to it in the magical baking oven (aka the kiln).

All my flamework is done with my Bethlehem Betta torch and a Devilbiss 5 lpm oxygen concentrator. My trusty Jen-Ken kilns do all the hard work of annealing my beads and kilnforming my fused glass pieces. I use only the finest Italian, German, and American art glass for everything I make.

Everything in my shop comes from the work of my own 2 hands. I design, create, clean, photograph, package and ship all of my creations. I only hope that you love them as much as I have loved creating them.
