My appreciation and respect for the culture, tradition and natural beauty that exists in the southwest have been nurtured over twenty years of life in New Mexico. My artistic evolution began with rug making, which opened my eyes to the myriad patterns that encompass southwestern design motifs. Soon, I transitioned to glass as the medium for my artistic expression. With the availability of a multitude of glass colors, textures and styles, I found a world of options with which to experiment. My repertoire includes both two and three-dimensional pieces, to include mirrors, window panels, lanterns and complex Victorian style planters. In ornamental suncatchers, I represent several of the most popular icons of southwestern culture. All pieces require hand cutting of the glass which is then encompassed in copper foil and soldered. I have twice received first place awards at Weems Artfest. I welcome all forms of custom work, windows (leaded or copper foiled), as well as any style, size, and shape of mirror, lantern, cabinet, suncatcher, etc. All examples below are available in a rainbow of colors and textures.
