Returning stateside, I enrolled in classes at a local stained glass studio to hone my technique, where I soon decided that working in one dimension was not for me.

I soon learned that by strategically positioning and tacking hand-cut textured glass, I could effectively represent the fluidity of natural movement. I began applying this new process to sculpting animal busts, figures and masks from cold glass – the first of which was a life-sized head of a horse, complete with piercing eyes and glass mane. One year and countless hours of disassembly and reassembly to get it right, I was hooked.

​

Now, nearly 20 years later, I have amassed a body of sculpted glass works that represents both my evolution as an artist and interactions with nature and culture across our great green earth.  Having visited over 40 countries to date, my designs are infused with the inspiration and memories I have collected in experiencing the many ways that people live, worship, celebrate and mourn through art.

​

I am currently involved in a number of custom commissions incorporating steel, glass and stone, and exploring additional public space artwork opportunities around the state of Arizona.
