    As a glass artist, I am focused on showcasing the simple beauty of glass through my work. My goal is to create pieces that are clean and elegant, highlighting the natural qualities of the medium in all their glory. I approach each piece with a meticulous attention to detail, honing my craft over years of practice and heavy experimentation. I believe that the true beauty of glass lies in its transparency and its ability to bend light, and I seek to highlight these qualities in new and unexpected ways. Through my art, I hope to inspire others to appreciate the unique qualities of glass as a medium, and to see the beauty in simplicity. Each piece I create is a reflection of my passion for glass art and a testament to the endless possibilities of this fascinating material.

    Glass blowing is one of the most difficult crafts I have ever learned, but the chance to challenge myself in a new artistic way has opened my eyes to a plethora of possibilities. I love the satisfaction of making something out of nothing and watching the fruits of my labor take shape as I am creating. Through all the good and bad days I know my day is fulfilled by doing something I love. Glass has consumed me and I’m in the belly of the beast!
