GLASS/Fused,

Glass has unlimited possibilities and each piece has its own unique and magical quality.  It is a perfect medium for my artistic expression.

My heart pounds as I raise a sheet of glass to the light and see the beautiful colors.  My mind races as I transform the flat sheet of glass into a finished piece of art. I am fascinated as I explore the unlimited options that present themselves.

As I design a piece, I play with the colors – adding and subtracting material and changing the texture.  Then, when I open my kiln I can observe the white-hot molten glow being slowly transformed into a solid piece of art.
