I have been working in glass my whole adult life, first blowing glass and now lampworking borosilicate glass. Having both blown glass and worked with a torch I have found working with the torch more autonomous than furnace work, the solitude allowing me to focus. Working alone has helped me define my voice, recognize what it is I want to narrate and share.

Many of my ideas derive from myth, religious texts and philosophical teachings; creating analogies between the unseen, words, heart and actions. I believe that a vocabulary of archetypal images exist in all of us, like seeds of ancient shared understanding, each viewer comprehending this unconscious language.
