Fused, Kiln Formed, and Cold Worked Glass

After years of frustration stemming from not being able to channel my creative voice, I found fused glass, which allows me to bring the artistic visions in my thoughts to life in a tangible form. It is very rewarding to be able to successfully take an idea from concept to completion.

​

I’m fascinated by putting different pieces of glass together and fusing them to create a new, one of a kind piece that I designed. I enjoy researching new techniques, pushing boundaries, and experimenting with “what if’s”. I am particularly attracted to pieces that highlight the way transparent and opaque glass can be used to manipulate light to form intriguing color shadows and reflections. I strive to create pieces that are “functional art” with the emphasis on ART.

I am very conscientious about the finishing touches on my pieces and pride myself on taking extra steps necessary to elevate them beyond what many consider “finished”. I look forward to expanding my craft further by continuing to learn and discover new ways of bringing glass design to life. I am a juried member of Best of Missouri Hands and Greater St. Louis Artists Association.
