Artist Statement
I work with glass because I love the material. I love the immediate attention it demands and the technical challenges that it posses. My fascination with glass goes all the way back to my days as a child playing with marbles. Glass with its bright colors always intrigued me. I like to use color, pattern and texture in my work.
Glass has always been the medium of choice for my personal expression. I enjoy creating art glass infused with my own identity yet with a persona of its own. Within the broad scope of ‘glass’ I have found a home in kiln-formed glass. Whether it is referred to as fused glass, warm glass, or kiln-formed glass, the possibilities for expression seem to be limitless. The fact that kiln-formed glass, as we know it, is so new and has been explored for less than a century is very exciting.
