Artist's Statement

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 00:36:58 CDT

My earliest memory that sparked my interest in glass occurred in the late 1960's, on a family outing to the Colorado high country. One particular morning, I remember waking to streams of sunlight pouring through the window of my family's cabin. Peeking through the tall pines, the sun illuminated the old road, then danced its way up the wooden telephone poles to the old green glass insulators at the top. To my amazement, the sun seemed to ignite a fire within each of them, casting light in all directions. The glass insulators glistened, as if they'd all sprung to life.

I think that the translucency of glass is what really appeals to me. The way it allows light to transcend into it's depths, then brings to life the color that evokes a sense of mystery, tranquility, and illusiveness. It has the ability to flow freely when hot, then stop when being cooled, locking into place a solid form that will endure the test of time. I get great inspiration from my natural surroundings as well as the built environment. Whether it is in a city, the back woods or my own back yard, it's there waiting for creative interpretation.

Biography

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 00:31:34 CDT

I grew up with art since my mother, Jody, was a fine painter,sculptor, and gallery owner. After graduating in 1988, with a fine arts degree from Western State College (Gunnison Colorado), we opened and operated a successful picture frame and gallery for 15 years. For the first few years after college I experimented mostly with various forms of painting. In 1993 I was introduced to glass blowing. My life took a turn at this point. Working in glass was unlike any other medium that I had ever known. In 2004, I decided to work in glass full-time and completed coursework at the Corning museum of glass. I experimented with blown glass and began to think about alternative processes including fusing and slumping of glass, and discovered how to use these techniques to create the works that are now my focus. I am continually experimenting with glass to make new, unique works of art.
