Artist Statement
My passion for fusing is the result of a life long fascination with glass that goes all the way back to when I was a kid collecting beach glass along the shores of Lake Michigan. I love the material the immediate attention it demands the technical challenges it presents and the unique and extraordinary beauty it creates in my work. Though my work with glass has encompassed stained glass and lampworking it was glass fusing that captivated me and has become the medium for my personal expression. The array of colors effects and patterns provide endless possibilities. My inspiration comes from the things I see everyday around me in nature and the world and is reflected in the bright colors geometric and abstract designs of my work. As a result the art glass I create is infused with my own personality yet each piece exudes a distinct personality that is all its own. Just as each piece I create is unique every firing is a new and exhilarating experience for me
