Having been raised by parents who were both professional photographers and fine artists, and having earned a university bachelor’s degree heavy in the sciences, I came to realize that combining these disciplines could personally afford meaningful creative satisfaction. Prisms and filters, pigments and dyes, all touched by the magic of light, led to the inspirations incorporated in my ever evolving work with glass and metal. Experimenting with light manipulation on a wide range of glass and metals available to the artist led to my choices of kiln fired art and dichroic glass and to my preference for titanium metal sheet and wire as the glass and metal media with which to work. Here on my website can be found various of my creations in a continually changing display as I endeavor to add new works.
