The artist at the glory hole.  The furnace is to my left. 

In my work, I combine a love of nature with a meticulous attention to detail.  Realistic environments blend with flowing, semi-abstract shapes to suggest not just the reality but also the emotional draw of nature.  I emphasize small features, inviting the viewer to get close and look several times.  I use a variety of creative techniques to combine interior design with surface features so that the viewer is enticed into the depth of the design.

Current wholesale pricelists are available upon request from galleries, shops, or dealers buying for re-sale.

I add glass 'barnacles' and other details to the base of hot glass, building layers.          Here is a finished Coral Reef paperweight.
