Artist Statement

The entirety of my craft centers around thoughtfulness and enjoyment. Glass, being a cerebral and brilliant medium, is conducive to my process. In 1943, Alexander Calder wrote, “I feel that the artist  should go about his work simply, with great respect for his materials.” I embrace this mindset. I employ  bright colors and interesting textures that change as the light transmits or reflects in the glass. My work  is often abstract but comes from a place of purpose and fun.
