ARTIST STATEMENT

​

As I layer glass, work and shape glass, it never ceases to surprise me with how it transforms itself.

 

Though fused glass is flat, I try to convey depth, using color, fiber and inclusions in fixed wall pieces.  I love to work with textures that create rich, complex matte and glossy surfaces. 

 

My aim is to create a newness in this visual form, one that evokes the serenity of flowing movement in layers that are deep yet subtle, strong and balanced.

 

Witnessing nature deeply inspires my work. How I sense light, warmth and coolness in the play of highlight and shadow. 

 

But it is my intuition that leads me. My art is as close as I can come to communicating meanings too nebulous to put into words.
