Artist Statement
Respect for tradition, excellence in craftsmanship, and attention to detail: through my travels and experiences, these values have become ingrained into my work. Using both traditional and non-traditional techniques, I use glass as a means of expression as well as exploration. Looking at the history of the material and focusing on the importance of line, I am able to reach new levels of technical and artistic achievement.
From a personal perspective, creating is a powerful form of meditation for me. I look at the making process as a very precious time. A time in which I have an opportunity to communicate with God, our creator. These moments as well as my love for the process are what continually pull me back to the studio.
