ABOUT THE ARTIST

Humor, whimsy and imagination are a cathartic aspect of my studio practice that allow me to address more serious emotions from a place of playfulness. In my work, I observe objects from the world around me and convey ideas by identifying aspects of these object that I am drawn to.   Color, form or historical meaning become a point of departure and focus while aspects that make these objects live or function in reality, become secondary or completely denied during the creative process.  In this way objects from my experience become beautiful, yet un-functional, or are combined in a way to see the paradoxes through which I view the world.  

Working with the constant motion associated with hot glass forces me to intuitively engage with the material creating a constant collaboration between the material and myself.  This is a connection that happens between my conscience and sub-conscience, my mind and hands, the motion of the material and my own emotions, resulting in a physical object that conveys my essence.
