Artist Statement

Why glass?  I love to work with light and color.  What better medium is there to weave the two elements?  And with glass, the possibilities are virtually limitless.

At working temperature - 2000 degrees - the metals (the source of color in glass) become active, and new colors arise.  Each color has its own relationship to the glass - determining how it flows and at what specific temperature it becomes soft. 

I like to let the colors dictate some of how the work develops, giving it a more fluid look - both in form and color.  With glass, I never stop learning.  There is always something new to explore.
