I believe
art enhances our lives; it’s not only the viewing, but the creating
of art that feeds the soul.
Art comes in many forms, my chosen medium is glass.
I took my first stained glass class in 2000 and still do a
piece from time to time.
In 2002 I started working in warm glass (fusing & bead
making) and that has become my passion.
Fused glass allows me to make functional art and bead making
allows me to make miniature pieces of wearable art.
I divide my time between creating glass art in my home
studio, managing a family business, and teaching fusing and bead
making at the local glass shop.
My life is full of wonderful people, and wonderful
experiences, and overlaying all of it is my art, bringing everything
into sharper focus.
I have taken
classed from several fused glass artist, including Brock Craig,
Avery Anderson, Richard La Londe, Johnathon Schmuck, and Marty
Kremer.
I teach both
stained glass and fused glass classes, I also teach lampworking and
torch working for fusers.
My work has
been displayed at Artistry Glass Studios in Tempe, AZ, The Farm at
South Mountain and Jack of Arts in Safford, AZ, I am also a member
of the Fountain Hills Artist Gallery.
I am one of
the founding members of the South Scottsdale Art Alliance and a
participant in the Camelback Studio Tour and Sale.
I am a member of the Arizona Society of
Glass Bead Makers, the Arizona Glass Alliance, The Sonoran Art
League, and the South Scottsdale Art Alliance.
