Artist Statement:
Finding inspiration in the world around me, away from the fast past urban cities and town’s, deep in the woods of New Hampshire on an old over grown cart road or on the banks of a beaver pond, this is where I am inspired to create my work. I’m finding myself focused on the fine detail and intricacy of nature and that sets the tone for my most recent work. Combining century old techniques with a contemporary touch to create beautiful and interesting glass art.
