This was the very first glass event I attended, and was talked into competing. I was very nervous,(especially having to work right next to the legendary Bob Snodgrass!) but I ended up with first place in the wearables category-winning a phantom. That was a HUGE change in my glassblowing-having a Nortel before the competition. I was very inspired by the awesome work I saw being made. All the people were very helpful and kind, making it one of the best experiences in my glass career! I apologize for this gallery being so incomplete-I was only there for one day, so I missed a lot of awesome work and the judging as well.

I have been working with glass since 1998, when I happened to get a job at Glasscraft following my newfound interest in making glass beads. Quickly, I ended my relationship with soft glass and mandrels and found borosilicate much more fun to work with. I started doing production full time in 2001, having picked up as much information as I could from random blowers and Glasscarft employees- and of course, Homer Hoyt. Today I find time to make art in between my huge production orders. I am looking forward to using my skills in different media to combine with glass for hopefully more expressive work. I feel glass art can be much more technique oriented than anything, and I am excited to see some of the more expressive works being created currently. I am inspired by the awesome works of artists, including the glass artists on this site; as well as beauty I find in nature and in music.
