Working with warm glass since 2007, my kiln-formed glass vessels in brilliant colors and complex designs are collected nationwide. I create artwork for people who love vibrant color and luscious lines, and crave tangible art with shape and heft.
Bursting with color, my abstract vessels and panels strive for strict geometry and sharp lines in a material that only bonds when heated to a liquid, flowing state.
Whether it’s a modern-day take on the traditional murrine construction of 16th century Murano, Italy, or carefully-engineered flowing and mingling, I enjoy creating special glass components and then designing around them. Elements of a finished piece have frequently undergone several firings on their way to the final artwork.
