I have been a professional, working artist since 1993. I consider myself so blessed to be able to do something I love every day!

I began my career as an artist in 1993 working with clay and creating original ceramic wall sculptures. Clay quickly became my way of expressing what was happening in my life. My “work” is actually a combination of play, work and prayer all rolled into one. My fascination with clay as a medium continued to grow as it presented me with endless possibilities and opportunities for self expression as well as spiritual reflection.

In an interesting transition from clay, I began working with hot glass in the form of lampwork bead making in 2004. Art on Fire was soon born out of my newfound passion for this medium. Lampworking ignited a passion for glass work and so my next creative adventure was working with glass in the form of glass fusing or kiln formed glass. I have been able to translate many of my ceramic designs into kiln formed glass pieces.

Experimenting with color, texture and form has always been at the center of my artwork. Whether it is a formed glass sculpture or of a piece of jewelry, each item is a hand built original and therefore no two are ever alike.

For me, the single most rewarding part of this journey has been experiencing another person’s reaction to something that I have created and knowing that even if only briefly, I have touched or inspired them in some way.
