Meeting the Artist:
I love the
excitement of working with molten glass! It is always a new and thrilling
adventure for me
to step into the studio and begin to create a new piece of glass art.
Each time I enter
the studio, I pour all of my energy into doing the best work that I possibly can.
This magical medium captures my heart... each and every time I sit down to
work with it!
I was first drawn to glassblowing at an early age because I wanted to learn how
color was infused into glass objects. My work is typically filled with
color since color has always been a deep fascination for me, and it shines
through in nearly all of my work. After ten years of working with glass,
my love for color has grown even more apparent. I feel a deep connection
and inspiration with nature within my work. Nature possesses so many
different colors and patterns, which for me is an endless palette of ideas and
concepts to convey into glass.
The current pieces that I am creating are blown vessels, sculptures, fused
panels and chandeliers. My past experiences in the glass studio and my
travels over the last few years have led me to come up with the ideas,
concepts and processes which are unique to me and my work. It is
always very joyful for me to express my thoughts and experiences through glass.
Every day I
consistently try to advance myself when I begin to work, and I am always
striving to learn from my failures and be the very best I can be. |
