4worldlovers: Cutting up socks as a 4 year old to make dolls and tearing out the blank pages in encyclopedias for drawing paper led to creating life sized papier mache' sculptures for our living room. I think we were the only family with a big paper Christmas tree. After a technical career in the Defense Department, I became a full time glass artist and have worked in glass for almost 20 years.

I use multiple mediums. Firing in kilns, I make fused glass plates, bowls, platters, and panels. I love sculpting in clay and casting the sculptures in glass.

I am inspired by the creation we inhabit and how it animates everything. A stone led me to create a fused glass bowl series that looked like water rushing over rocks!

This work has been sold.
