I find the art glass medium beautiful with boundless options for creating stunning and unique pieces.  When creating custom designs for clients, I strive to encapsulate and reflect each customer’s home décor elements and design ideas into finished glass pieces.  I love the challenge of integrating various glass processes with beautiful glass to complete a project which is unique, affordable and custom for every client. 

I am passionate about using innovative techniques to create beautiful and unique glass art.  Beautiful color, contrast, texture, warmth and beauty are elements in my pieces.  Some of the processes I use to create my art include; sandblasting for etching or carving into glass, painting and fusing color and designs into glass, and using glass frit (crushed glass) to create unique designs and patterns.  I travel across the country taking workshops from other artists who inspire me to learn new techniques and processes.  I am passionate about pushing the limits with glass fusing.
Sharing and learning from others is very inspirational for me as well.  I offer small individualized classes.
