BIOGRAPHY
"Art and creations are
the windows of our souls...
they reveal our inner selves"
"As a young child I was intrigued with art and design. I work
in many mediums; watercolor, oils, clay (both thrown on the wheel
and hand built), sculpture, photography and fused glass. The
potential for variety in design are exciting and unlimited.
All my creations are one
of a kind. As a General Manager for a major arts supplier I
had the opportunity to meet and learn from some of the top people in
the art industry. Now as a Gallery Director I get the
opportunity to help people create a home environment with the art
that they love, and work with other artists who share the same
passion.
There is something
magical about glass when it is hot. Energy that went into
heating the glass is transformed into a glowing, flowing, honey like
substance that responds to the touch and spirit of the artist.
For thousands of years both the process and the results of forming
glass glass have fascinated people. Glass has mystified and
intrigued humanity for centuries from the ancient Egyptians to
modern man. This process called fusing is a
rediscovered art form. It is created with a kiln, colored
glass and gravity. Glass is heated then manipulated, shaped,
formed or decorated in a kiln. This process is affected by
gravity so there is an element of surprise for the artist as well."
