Statement

I play with fire!

At my torch, I shape hot glass into a unique line of beads for my original artisan jewelry.  Blown hollow beads, hand shaped disks, curved beads and long bi-cones are my specialty.  I draw inspiration from the nature of glass itself.  It can be transparent, opaque, shiny, matte, textured, smooth, layered, simple, complex, colorful, colorless and so on.  I enjoy playing these various characteristics against one another in my jewelry. It is endlessly fascinating and challenging! 

I work with Italian soda lime glass and various specialty glasses. My jewelry has a minimalist, organic feel.  It is simple, yet powerful; sophisticated and fun!  Enjoy!
