ARTIST STATEMENT

I have been making female figurative work since the inception of my artistic expression. This work is instinctive, I let the material be my guide. I do not use models and so, to that extent, the female figure represents my totemic expression, my core self seeking, exploring, reaching out to communicate and be recognized.

Joy. Empowerment. Empathy. Intimacy. Diversity.

These pieces are created in two ways. First, for the line drawings, I melt glass with a torch and shape the lines, “construct” the drawing with these lines, and then fuse onto sheet glass. For the watercolor painting style pieces, I essentially paint glass onto sheet glass, and then fuse in my kiln.

Each piece is unique. I am often asked and yes, every room in the house including in the bathroom. My work is available in my Etsy shop and at local exhibitions.
