"Glass is an exciting and versatile material which I have been working with for many years. I love creating objects that inspire beauty around us."
Being able to create beautiful, functional glass objects is a wonderful way to share the luminous quality of contemporary glass art with others. Using handmade objects every day gives us a feeling of connectivity and warmth.
Using lost wax casting processes similar to bronze making, the crystal and colored glass is fired in a high temperature kiln so that it melts into hand sculpted shapes.
