People ask me why I like glass as an art medium - it’s so unpredictable! And that is the very reason it has captured me! I love a good challenge. Endless hours of patiently placing glass bits and powders onto layer after layer of glass results in sometimes unexpected outcomes once it is fired in the kiln. I have a vision of what the individual layers should look like but glass has a mind of its own. That’s what I love about it. I’m always surprised - good or bad! Other artists use oils or watercolor. I use glass. Through many layers I create the perspective of depth and dimension. I have been creating glass art in the form of stained glass for over 45 years. Recently I started “painting with glass” and my passion for fusing was ignited. This process is so meditative. I am a relative beginner but with each firing I learn more and more and can’t wait to get back to work to test another technique and create. My studio is my “happy place.”
