I find the stained glass technique to be the most effective medium for expressing my ideas. It is an art form and process laden with traditional associations- churches, kitsch and hobby art – and is therefore ripe for distortion. My work is largely inspired…

July 2017 Recently, I have been exploring with mosaics. It is a welcome break from the structure of leaded or copper foil glass art. I find it more spontaneous and loose, playful and free. I am enjoying this exploration. These are woodland animals. I…

June 2017 Friends! I painted my studio and added trim details. New plants have arrived as studio mates. It is a calm and special place to be. I am working on new mosaics that I will post soon.

November 2016 I am excited about a connection I have made here in California with a local environmental organization, Napa Vision 2050. They exist to preserve local values and to protect our water resources, forests, rural communities, agriculture and open space. Now they will receive a $5 donation…

October 2016 I am excited about these! They are small (4 inch square) fused glass panels to hang in a window or against a wall. They are spontaneous and sweet. They are secured with a silk cord and brass ring. They are repeats to…

In 2006, I lived in New York. I had the great opportunity to build a commission for Deity Nightclub in Brooklyn. They wanted goddesses with an element of erotica. The windows were 4 feet by 6 feet and there were 6 of them. The owners…

This window was installed in a burnt-out and abandoned building in Portland, OR in 2008. I used some of the salvaged glass from the burnt out building. The glass was melted by the fire, covered in graffiti, and broken. I also used french mouth…

May 2016 I found this t.v. on the side of the street in Brooklyn, NY. It was gross. But it was the exact look I had been keeping an eye out for, so it was worth cleaning. The pattern on the t.v. is your…

I made this piece using hundreds of salvaged lenses. When positioned against a landscape (featured here in front of New York Bay), the horizon line splits. No longer a steady, straight, constant, resting place, the horizon line becomes activated and splayed. This lens sculpture…
