| Introduction | I create blown glass works of art and functional glass items. I work with hot glass, fused glass, painting, and mixed media. I am known for making functional blown glass art and large fine art works. Blown glass tumblers as well as blown glass keepsakes have been my most popular items. |
| Interests | Art created from the heart to bring joy to the viewer and the artist. My motivation is an inner drive that I have always felt. When I was very young it was the smelling and feeling the squishing paint through my fingers as I smeared it around on wet paper, and the feel of pounding a nail and it sinking into a piece of scrap wood to build a “ship”. My training is in fine arts. I love to create no matter the materials; I just have to learn the tools of the medium. I love creating works of art. I am inspired by the color and the properties of glass itself, and by my past experience of working with oil painting and textile mixed media. I experience peace, calm, happiness, and excitement manipulating molten glass. Blowing glass has become a huge lesson in how to “go with the flow” Some days the glass is moving with me and other days I have to give in and move with the glass. |
