ARTIST STATEMENT

Working with glass has been a long time passion of mine.I started my journey with stained glass. When moving to Portland I became interested in fusing glass. My cutting skills have helped but fusing is a completely different game. You construct your piece and instead of soldering it together you place it in a kiln and heat it up to 1400+ degree. 18 - 24 hrs.later yo open your kiln and find out if it is trash or a treasure. This is the magic and excitement in fused glass that I never tire of. You never know exactly how something is going to turn out. It is a collaboration between yo and the kiln gods.

I find the creative processes very rewarding and take pride in selecting those pieces I feel are worthy of sharing with others. I hope you enjoy my vision of beauty. If you are interested in my work you can find it at the Pacific Artist Co-op in Lincoln CIty.
