My artistic goal is to bring the brilliance, color and dimension of art glass together with the art of design to form an exciting visual experience full of visions, impressions and memories. I enjoy using a variety of different techniques in combination to achieve unique lighting effects throughout each work. Much of my work reveals a contrast between organic movement and structure.
