I accidentally discovered glass about 10 years ago after stumbling across a box of vintage 1960’s bifocal lenses. This discovery opened a new door into light and color. Although a variety of mediums may be mixed in a single piece, I often reuse objects that have been cast-out or otherwise overlooked. I like to blend wood, which is very strong and tactile, with glass which can be more fragile and ethereal. I work the glass traditionally and also kiln form glass. I recycle everything I can find: wood, glass, and metal.

Glass is especially important in my work because of its ability to project auras of color and energy in light. I frequently ask glass to bend and light to dance.  I am in love with color and use it as a bridge to my thoughts and ideas.  I never know in advance where or when ideas will occur but accept them intuitively and allow my hands to do the thinking.  Ultimately, every piece I create is a reflection of my personal experiences and interactions in this world.

Most of my commissions are large stained glass panels; however, I readily accept any challenge within my means.  My lighted wall sconces and accent lamps are displayed at The Artful Hand in Fort Worth, TX.
