I started working with glass as a hobbyist in 1984 and continued to do so as the family transferred around New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, while following my husband's career. In 1992, my husband and I settled in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. I looked for ways to do glass work full time. I built a business by designing and constructing residential stained glass, as well as teaching classes in stained glass and warm glasswork. In 2002, I expanded my business into a full retail glass shop. Having a background in stained glass work gave me the discipline and structure I found I needed to start working with warm glass. My first experiences with the kiln was heating glass over molds to make my stained glass panels three-dimensional, which set my stained glass work apart. I continued working with the kiln and also the minor bench burner (torch). As I learned new techniques, I continued to incorporate these techniques into my fused work. I have been fascinated by glass and
color of any kind since early childhood. This has become a means of
expressing my personal themes and ideas. I will continue to
challenge myself to grow and learn while enjoying the whole journey
along the way.
In addition, I participate at many
art shows annually and I also teach workshops through the winter
months on different glass techniques. I have been a regular student at the Studio at Corning, New York, and continue to take advanced warm glass classes with known Glass Artists from around the country. I live and work in Carlisle, Pennsylvania with my husband and our canine friend, "Kando" and our equine friend, "Skidd". |
