Artist Statement

After 37 years of working with glass, I still walk into the studio with eagerness and anticipation.

Glass, by its own nature, is an incredible and ideal material to work with because many of its best qualities are present before creative ideas are expressed in it. The possibilities it offers are never ending.

As I have worked with glass over the years, I am impressed with how much I continue to learn. The techniques and applications not only seem limitless, the fact has become painfully obvious that I will run out of time on earth before I run out of ideas for creative expression in this material. Each time I pick up a blowpipe, I pursue difference and personal perfection in form and design.
