After long wanderings in many media, I have found my favorite. Borosilicate glass flows like honey when molten, is strong and durable when cool, and achieves amazing color combinations with different metals. When it comes to form, for me, each day is an experiment in what the glass feels like doing. I try to allow the natural flow of the glass to come out in form and mainly focus on fume work, striking, and atmosphere reactive color.
My goal as an artist is to draw the viewer outside of their cluttered thoughts and bring them to a point of personal reflection without knowing they are reflecting. Technical precision is only important in that: once many techniques are mastered, expression becomes so easy that the pure emotion or feeling that an artist is trying to convey can come out effortlessly. Thus, beauty and pure thought pour out of each piece as opposed to mechanical technique. This is why my work varies so much even within one genre.

as spring wanders into the NC mountains i find
renewal and awakening in my heart and my soul thanking God that i have the privilege to make glass art for my living wages. these new orbs are getting tighter every month but the largest ones still have a long ways to come till they are as tight as i want them to be. for the rest of this year i will be shoving other ideas aside and focusing on tightening the art up in these large orbs. stay tuned more photos as the year progreses.

Nice work!
It is obvious that you have come a long way in the last 1.5 years. Remember that 1st bead show where we met? Interesting artist statement. While it is good to master techniques so your art can "flow' from with in, it is also important to recognize / mention your influences. Good work! Those tree's and bracelets are hot! - Kenan
