Artist Statement

Glass can mesmerize. It is cold and hot, smooth and sharp, unbending and yielding. Sometimes it breaks. Some colors are dull and others change constantly with the light. Textures add another dimension. Since 1988 I've worked with glass to uncover its potential. Today, it is a passion for me and the people that work with me. Although I have thought many times that I could walk away and never cut another piece of glass, I can't. It is my calling. I touch a sheet of glass and know it will become what I guide it to be. I cut, fuse, foil, lead, solder, drill, string and grind it to accomplish that. And so your piece is born.
