I grew up in an old Victorian house that still had much of its original stained glass, which I've always loved. I started making stained glass panels in the mid-1990s, and switched to fused glass about 10 years later. I began with jewelry, but quickly progressed from wearable art to larger art glass, and I enjoy creating both. I particularly like the unique play of light and color that glass offers, as well as the challenges of projects like weaving glass. My muses include travel, nature, and the glass itself.
