artist statement

The entirety of my craft centers around thoughtfulness. I try to be thoughtful in my approach and hope my finished windows bring the observer clarity in their own thoughts. My work is abstract but comes from specific experiences I have had while living in Missouri. I focus on color and texture in my work, using bright colors and interesting textures that change as the sun moves across the sky.
