Designs created by cutting, forming & shaping glass, rimming each piece with malleable copper, achieving a bondable edge via solder, allow 3-D assembly with torch & iron. Hand rubbed patinas & surface with inclusion of metal,wood & stone maximize the translucent & reflective qualities of these components

My techniques are based in medieval and renaissance techniques. I enjoy the visceral quality of the “Waldglass” in Central Europe’s Glasshouses from the 5th Century CE. This is where I’m inspired to create the “Pod” series with their blown bit decorations. I want these pieces to feel alive and full of movement.
I also draw from Renaissance era Venetian glass masters’ forms and decorations of millefiori color chips. My "Mille" functional drinkware honor this heritage and are perfect for one’s palace celebrations.
I want to fuse the past with the present to forge a new future in glass.
