“My sculptures reflect my vision of a contemporary, clean and cutting edge look in glass art."

Having worked in the field of glass and design since 1972, I have created and produced many types of glass work. Now taking advantage of all that knowledge, various techniques and experience that I have gained over the years; I have branched out into the field of glass sculpture to create a contemporary wall-sculpture series.
These sculptures are all my original designs and I am solely responsible for the creation of each piece. I build the foundation for each sculpture and then each piece of glass is cut with a hand-held glass cutter. In addition, I also cut and paint the steel rods, and securely place a multi-hanging system on the back so it is easy to hang these pieces in a client’s home.
I hope you enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of these glass sculptures as much as I have enjoyed the journey in designing this new line of art.
