Thanks for stopping by! I have been through some radical changes this past year and as a result I have not been at the torch. I will create again some day but for now, I am very busy with what life has in store for me!
I am hoping to get back to the torch this spring/summer and have some new work for you to view then.
So, until that time ...

This is a series I am working on using Borosilicate glass in organic shapes. Learning to develop the color was one of the catalysts for me. I am excited to see how it will evolve! There is more to come ....

My love affair with glass began nearly three years ago in my home studio located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I spent the first two years melting soft glass of all kinds. The endless possibilities and range of expression that I can achieve in glass continues to entice me. I enjoy creating delicate, feminine florals but also love to explore organic, casual shapes.
In my most recent work, experimenting with Borosilicate glass, I have re-discovered the remarkable marriage between art and science. The only other time that I have felt this relationship was during my training as a Commercial Pilot. Flying an aircraft is most certainly an exercise in both art and science … but that is a story for another time!
Every day that I am able to spend at the torch I feel privileged. Working hot glass is a passion that continues to grow and helps me to thrive.
