Working primarily in hot-fused glass and stained glass, my pieces range from contemporary and expressionistic graphics to landscape design. Glass allows me the flexibility to create the crisp, bold, expressive splashes of color of my contemporary pieces & the muted, naturalistic hues of my landscape forms. In all instances I strive to develop works that are both representational and strongly emotive.
Each fused-glass piece is an evolving process from a simple thought or sketch to the layering of textured glass & color to create an imagined finished piece. Then only after high-temperature kiln-firing melts and fuses the individual glass layers does a complete final image appear. The frequent unpredictability of the final heating variable often tempers or enhances the original design intent of an imagined piece, and the results regularly surprise and gratify me.
I work in my studio in Texas and am proud to say every work of art and the materials used is all made in the USA!
