'Transitions' was the first sculpture I had done where I added curves (difficult considering I only use a flatbed grinder, no belt sanders yet) to the cuts. The title came from my love of bmx-the curved part of a skate ramp is called the transition, it was only fitting...

I am a glassblower (originally from PA) who happened to to be lucky enough to find glass while backpacking in New Zealand. I stumbled upon glass while looking for work during my travels and ever since it has been nothing short of an addiction. At a time when I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life I found a job at a glassblowing studio, and I have been in love with glass since. Upon returning to the US after studying 3 years in NZ I moved to Alabama where I now reside working for Orbix Hot Glass and also creating my own work.
