The lines left in the sand at low tide, the motion of the eddies and current, the pattern that bugs leave on a branch when you remove the bark, these natural patterns have found a way into and have inspired my work. I sometimes incorporate as the base a natural element, like stone or wood giving the pieces a direct connection to my inspirations.
My colors are based on controlling the effects that one can achieve with glass. They are created from heat and air, producing loose and interesting layered patterns.

My work is blown glass sculpture focused on expression through color and form. I use metal and stone in the base but the focus is the glass.
