I am a sculptor
working in glass. My material of choice is tempered or plate
glass. Unlike bottle glass, which is typically recycled, building
glass is not recycled but dumped in landfills. I began my
own form of recycling by reusing these materials to create
my art. I love the soft green tint of the glass and enjoy
being part of the "green art" movement.
My work explores personal and spiritual
growth and is inspired by the rhythms of nature and my life
on the water. I fuse and slump pieces many times to achieve
their organic look. But when the piece is finally out of the
kiln, the work is far from over. I extensively cold-work each
piece - sandblasting, grinding, and carving until the desired
effect is achieved.
Sculptural work ranges in price from $500
to $3,500. Functional pieces (which make great gifts for the
environmentally conscious) are priced from $40 to $400.
