My Preferred Medium
Broken glass is my current medium. I’ve worked with mosaic, acrylic, fabric, and now glass. I love the vibrant colors and random shapes of the glass, which cause me to think outside the box to develop my next shattered glass creation.
I look for texture, shape, and color when I source my glass from glass blowers and other facilities rich with discarded glass shards, tempered glass, and stained glass. Finding unwanted glass that I can upcycle into coastal-themed glass art thrills me.
I’m never sure how I will use the pieces I find, but I know they are pleasing to look at, and I keep a significant stash of glass for all projects! I believe in helping our ecology by recycling and repurposing glass into nature-themed art.
Running pliers, scorers, nippers, a kiln, resin, and epoxy are all essential tools I use to create glass art customized to my customer’s tastes. Interior designers, homeowners, and gallery owners revel in my stunning shattered glass art.
My Inspiration
Hiking, kayaking, gardening, and traveling the world give me mental images of broken glass art that fuel my creative work. My friends and family give me a positive perspective on the artistic process. Working with glass is a passion; everything I create is a joy. I know I’ve finished a piece when I smile spontaneously.
My shattered glass artwork is available at many art galleries and right here online. It makes wonderful, unique art gifts.
Plus, whenever you need something highly customized, I am always available for commissioned artwork!
