Colors, Reflections, Purpose and Beauty

Color with all of its vibrancy and its endless palette was what first attracted me to fused glass. Whether transparent, opalescent or iridescent I wanted to play with it all. 

Gradually, I realized that there was much more to my attraction than just color. To me, glass is a metaphor for life. With effort, care and skill a piece of beauty, be it glass or life, can be created. And like life, it needs to be treated with respect.

There is also a purpose to glass, just as there is to life. Whether it is a piece designed to hold an object or an art piece that brings enjoyment or thought provoking ideas it has a reason for being.

With each piece of fused glass I craft, I attempt to create a thing of beauty that will be valued. In return, I hope the piece will bring a sense of joy and well being to its owner.
