About My Fused Glass Journey

My career as a glass artist started so innocently. In 2009 I took a class at a local community

center. The hands-on transformation of a clear piece of glass to a colorful finished work of art still amazes me today. Opening my cooled down kiln in the morning after a 1465 degree firing is like opening a gift.


As all glass artists will tell you, sometimes a piece doesn’t make it. However, the broken chards have a future, too. Some of my best abstracts are from “failures”. But when hours of being bent over a work-in-progress finally comes together, it’s automatically my new favorite piece ever made! And I can’t wait to see it find a loving home and be enjoyed for decades to come.


This is especially true of my memorial pieces. Being trusted with a loved one’s remains is a

profound honor. Creating a forever keepsake is one of my greatest joys.


Glass art truly has no boundaries. It requires a combination of so many skills including some

engineering feats tossed in just to keep me on my toes. Whether it’s a single tile created as a pet portrait using fine glass powder or a multi-layered sculptural piece, each requires patience, dedication, and respect for the process. Cutting corners never works out. Chards happen!


Over the years, I have continued to learn and grow my skills. My relentless journey to become the best I can be has all led to many awards and other significant recognition from the art community including being featured on the PBS TV show “Making”.


I am honored to be a juried member of The Best of Missouri Hands and also a juried member of Summit Art in Lee's Summit, Missouri. I also have pieces on display in several galleries in Florida and Missouri.


I am really thankful to every collector who supports my work, vision, and creative spirit.
