My Background
Since my very first small glass kiln that I acquired in 2010, I have grown my home studio to include a full range of kilns, torches, and metal working equipment. All of this has aided in my journey to becoming a more accomplished glass artist. I have learned from some of the best and I am heavily influenced by artist such as Bob Leather

My Background
I consider myself both a fused (kiln) glass artist and a flame work artist. Both give me the satisfaction of creating glass into art. They are actually very different techniques to manipulate the material.. With fused glass you cut and plan your designs in a cold state and then fire in a kiln. Large glass projects can be created this

They are actually very different techniques to manipulate the material.. With fused glass you cut and plan your designs in a cold state and then fire in a kiln. Large glass projects can be created this way. With Flame working you work with molten hot glass on a special torch....its very spontaneous which can be so satisfying also. The nature of this medium means smaller but just as beautiful objects.

My Inspiration
I now find much of my inspiration in the magical place where I live, Santa Fe New Mexico. The light here is truly amazing and there is a reason why artist Georgia O'Keeffe chose to live here. Colors dance in this light...and the merging of different cultures makes a wonderful playground for artists of all sorts of mediums.
