This has been quite a journey for me. In 2009 I decided to leave the medical/vet teaching world and follow my heart as a glass artist. Through various ups, downs, sideways events, and a-has I discovered that I had another love inside of me that needed to come out: ultra trail running. Translation: I run very long distances in nature and sometimes, it's just me for miles around and sometimes it's in the middle of the night. I love it because in this space I am at one with all that is around me and when I'm in this space, that's when ideas come to me and I take these ideas into my glass studio. I bring this same energy to my torch where I create glass pendants and (sometimes) other things. Some things are a miraculous surprise and some well, not so much.
It's all a journey, both running and glass art and I bring these results to you. Enjoy!
