Artist Statement
I love glass. I love melting glass. I love manipulating glass. I love the smoothness of finished pieces and I love the never ending designs of shards. I work with glass daily. I enjoy the endless possibilities of what glass can do and what I can do to it. When starting a fused piece the color size and slumped shape are all in mind or on paper. The design is not clear until all of the pieces are being prepared and cleaned. My designs are colorful bright and bold. Commonly referred to as modern retro. I use geometric shapes when designing plates and bowls. All of my pieces are fully functional as serving pieces. I use dichroic glass for jewelry pieces. I use layering techniques to produce thick unique designs throughout the layers. My current works include large platters and matching plates bold modern and vibrant. The jewelry pieces are becoming more interesting every day.
