I have been creating mouth blown and hand sculpted art glass pieces for 19 years. During that time my love and enthusiasm for the material has only grown. Blown glass as well as sculpted hot art glass have an immediate gratification which I find pleasing both from the craft technique as well as the artistic endeavor.

Early in my career I moved to Europe. I completed my degree, BA(HONS) , at West Surrey College of Art and Design, in Farnham England and then moved to Sweden. A country rich with a history of glass design and culture. An apprenticeship with Master Arthur Zirnzack taught me how to combine blown glass with sculpture. His knowledge of the material and technique were a great gift to me.

Years later after returning to the USA I met and began working with Martin Blank. He is one of my favorite art glass sculptors. It was on his recommendation that I began working with Dale Chihuly. Dale has an ability to bring together skilled artisans and crafts people from all over the world and get the best from them. People like Pino Signeretto and Italo Scanga, whom have influenced my work.

I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the world's best glass artists . I think that can be seen reflected in my designs and choice of color.
