Artistic development began early (above charcoal drawing from age 16 years old) and continued to focus on drawing and sculpture of figures and faces. Numerous art classes in various media led me to my chosen material: Glass. Design and construction of entirely unique stained glass windows, I continue to enjoy creating striking images that capture the essence of the subject. Learning from talented English artists, Stephen Bryne and David Williams, allowed me to achieve likenesses in glass. I've also taken classes from the famous glass artists Narcissus Quagliata and Tim Carey among other accomplished glass artists.

Glass is an amazing medium that comes alive with light. Natural light varies throughout the day and throughout the year with the seasons, giving memorial windows an ever changing interest and ethereal beauty. The glass paintings are created by using special paint that is composed of microscopic glass particles that are then fired in a kiln at high temperature and fused into the glass. This process has not changed significantly for hundreds of years and the resulting glass paintings produced today can last for 500 years or longer. Specialty glass and custom glass and other special techniques may be used to achieve a timeless memorial window.

Rooted by a love of nature and observation, the images in my stained glass windows aim to connect with viewers in a tangible way. My study of art history with fairly extensive travel to many of the fine art museums in Europe and North America contributes to my desire to push artistic boundaries and aspire to produce masterpieces representative of those we have loved and lost. The artists that have inspired me the most include Gustav Klimt's gold period portraits for his exquisite eye for design and aesthetic beauty and Kahlil Glbran for his intangible, mysterious imagery. I'm inspired by a person's story and the process of creating a captivating and healing representation of their unique life.
