I started my journey into the world of glass in the late 70's as a means of relieving stress around the midnight hour when I would get home from work as a police officer. I started pursuing my glass art obsession full-time in the late 90's and have been pushing the boundaries ever since. Over that period I have been fortunate to have studied with and learned from several internationally recognized glass artists.

I have worked in all aspects of glass art but found that etching/carving and fusing were equal on the "obsessive scale". My current work melds etching and fusing. I love the shimmery rainbow effects achieved by combining glass, enamels, lustres and metal micas, as well as the line work achieved through pen and ink, enamels, and sandblast etchings.

Much of my work is inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds me in my studio in New Hampshire. The seasonal changes seem to offer constant inspiration for new designs - falling leaves and fern fronds, spring bloom colors, the horizon's edge over the ocean on a summer evening.
