Artist Statement
I love creating fused glass art and usable pieces for others to enjoy. I first became interested in glass art in a few years ago. I’ve always enjoyed using my hands to evoke my creative spirit. My first passion was with sewing, being able to make beautiful clothing. My second passion was with the ability to build furniture. I loved carpentry because the process allowed be to build beautiful, useful and practical things.
I found glass art after retiring for the second time from a wonderful career in education. My journey began in a stained glass class. I found stained glass to be creative but also restrictive because all the pieces needed to fit together like a puzzle. When I started working with fused glass I enjoyed its’ fluidness which allowed pieces to flow together naturally.
Glass Art offers me the ability to use my hands to create beautiful things.
