+ ARTIST STATEMENT +
I have always been fascinated with gift that is creation. As an artist, my eyes are always absorbing, soaking up the infinite details of life, while enamored by the colors that define it. I realized long ago that I could not only manifest this power by simply picking up utensils, but most importantly, choosing the medium that best describes my vision and bringing it to life.
The effects of Stained Glass has a huge influence on my work. I am very intrigued by light and the fierce contrasting colors that take form when light reveals it. I love what light does to color and how it reflects to ones mood. For some it's an external beauty, and for others, it's an internal mirror of their soul.
