I have been playing around with glass for more than 25 years. What started as a hobby ignited by a community education class has turned into an on-going artistic experiment of this amazing art form. Glass is such an interesting medium to work with and I love all the aspects I have explored. Although I started with traditional stained glass, several years ago I bought a kiln and started dabbling with fused glass – making bowls, plates, platters and 3-D sculptural pieces. Every new technique presents another challenge! I still enjoy making stained-glass windows, primarily as custom designs and have created dozens of commissioned pieces. Glass mosaics can be a time-consuming endeavor but I gain great satisfaction in rendering an image with little bits of glass and tile. I am currently teaching classes at The Jansen Art Center in Lynden and MoonWater Arts in Anacortes. As an active member of the Camano Arts Association, my work can frequently be found at the Gateway Gallery on Camano Island.
