I have been working with glass as my creative medium for over thirty years, beginning with stained glass, transitioning to lamp work beads, and finally, about thirteen years ago to glass fusing. For seven years I was a designer, and fabricator, with Maureen McGuire Design Associates, in Phoenix. While there I had the opportunity to design windows and sculpture for several Arizona churches. The autonomous stained and fused glass pieces I’ve created over the years have seen sold through galleries around the southwest, and directly to the public at juried art and craft fairs. With all these years of involvement with glass I have never been more excited with the medium than I am now. Through fusing I’m reminded of glasses’ true liquid nature, enjoying the transformation in the kiln, the mingling of color layers, and a newfound freedom of form. Currently my larger pieces include wall pieces, platters, masks, tiles, lamps, standing pieces and most recently fish.....sorry this is my website artist statement
