I am a glass artist, primarily working with kiln-formed glass, creating functional and sculptural pieces. In my current work I use a strip construction technique; by placing strips on edge adjacent to each other, I can blend colours and play with light. The varying temperatures in the kiln let me experiment with the flow and textures of glass as I explore the relationship between wind and water. Working with glass brings me a sense of calmness and I instil that feeling into each of my pieces for the viewer to experience as well.
I heat art glass in a kiln, mixing a kaleidoscope of colours, with a little bit of paint here and the occasional metal inclusion there. I then properly anneal it to ensure quality and durability. I take great effort to coldwork the pieces into pleasing shapes with a beautiful, clear polish. Others may be sandblasted to a satiny, matte fin
I heat art glass in a kiln, mixing a kaleidoscope of colours, with a little bit of paint here and the occasional metal inclusion there. I then properly anneal it to ensure quality and durability. I take great effort to coldwork the pieces into pleasing shapes with a beautiful, clear polish. Others may be sandblasted to a satiny, matte finish. Each piece has its own special character with no two ever being exactly alike.
My work explores the relationship between wind and water. The sense of calm and motion is what I most like to capture in my glass.
