I
have been designing and fabricating elegant, contemporary glass art and jewelry
since 1999. My passion for art, began as a child. Having
experimented with several media, it took owning an antique business to spark my
love for glass. I began with stained and leaded glass, but that quickly evolved
to fused and dimensional glass. I utilize various methods to create my
unique pieces, including kiln fusing, chemical fusion, cold working, Patte de
Verre, sandblasting, etching, lampworking, and mosaics. With the belief that art
should be shared by many, incorporating my glass into jewelry was only a
natural progression. The wearer, immediately becomes the displayer of
fine art. Every element of my designs are carefully chosen with the hope
of provoking an emotion; as a catalyst, from the artist to the beholder. My jewelry pieces are
carefully constructed of sterling silver, 14k gold and gold-filled, PMC (fine
silver), copper and brass. Semi-precious stones, handmade fused
glass cabochons and unusual findings are incorporated into the designs to
create unique, timeless works of art to be handed down from generation to
generation. |
