This includes work I've done as a developing artist as well as some more recent pieces. All of the work is original, construction done with the copper foil method. I am still trying to get a studio set up in my home in Syracuse, NY; which is certainly not the cultural capitol of anything but I figure I should start out where the cost of living is such that a starving artist doesn't actually have to starve.
"Koi Screen"
The next time I make a fire screen that's supposed to stand on its own I'm consulting a physics text. Makes an interesting window too.

Heart on Sleeve
It's a little mini glass heart you can sew on your sleeve. Some people might point out that it looks like it's been broken. Then you can sadly say, "but it's all soldered back together and still works pretty well."

"Vanishing Nautilus" garden table
This one's a favorite of mine. The tabletop rests on a cheap potted plant stand and attaches with clips for summer use.

"Vanishing Nautilus" winter storage
Of course in Syracuse a garden table doesn't get a huge amount of use. Luckily the Vanishing Nautilus table doubles as a hanging panel.

"Replacement Heart"
The story is that I taught a good friend how to make stained glass and he made a big realistic red heart. And I broke it (accidentally). So I made him this one to replace it.
