ARTIST STATEMENT

I have worked as an illustrator and commercial artist in the past and as a goldsmith and jewelry designer....but about 25 years ago I began learning how to do fused glass and just fell in love with it. I did mostly dichroic jewelry early on and still do a lot of that, but I also try many different techniques and have become very interested in high fire glass enamels. These are mostly done and mounted as 2D wall pieces. I particularly love doing birds, animals and nature in general as subjects. Glass is always a challenge and never boring.
