Working in glass comes on the heels of a few other media I have been involved in over my lifetime. It seems to be the greatest and most rewarding challenge yet, to work with molten glass, metals, reactive glasses and frits. There is the hope here of creating something unusual, beautiful and desirable..and it is probably less than two inches in any direction! If only we could always be happy with just a tiny treasure to hold our attention and devotion.
My work has evolved over just a year and a half. I work many hours at a time four days weekly and often in the evenings, or I study whatever resources I can find. I usually create jewelry from my beads and only recently have been making beads that stand on their own merit...perhaps another creative person will complete their voyages for them!
