Artist bio

Ever since I can remember, my fondest memories are of creating art. Throughout my early life I delved into every painting medium available. Everything from portraits to full blown murals.  Automatons were my next obsession.  I spent quite a few years exploring the making of musical/mechanical toys which were bought up quickly all over the world. Then when 911 hit I had an automaton that I was working on in my hands.  After the trauma of that day, I found that I could no longer pick up another automaton project. Instead, I decided to volunteer at our local school in order to be near our son. After volunteering for 5 years as an artist in residence at Shady Grove Elementary in Davie County, I found myself longing for a different artistic medium. It came in the form of glass. For the past 8 years I’ve been engulfed in trying to infuse recycled items into glass and that’s where I am to this day. Mostly infusing found objects with fused glass and glass on glass mosaics. I am in love with this process and feel I have found my creative soul mate.
