Artist Statment

My pieces are one of a kind, hand crafted designs fused into and onto the glass body. These pieces are dynamic, expressive, and functional. The images are developed by layered coats of finely ground glass fused at 1600F. The designs are often slumped into a mold. This unique process is analogous to the technique of designs applied to bone China. The artist never knows how a creation will be modified by the extreme heat in which it is subjected to in a kiln or by torch.
