Artist Statement:
The glass canvases that I chose for my work come from a variety of resources that range from flea markets to antique shops, they are often salvaged, and cleaned before use. I strive to make the design an integral part of the glass with respect to the maker and the form. The engraving
technique utilized is sandblasting, completed in one to several stages to obtain the desired image. It is a lengthy, time consuming but very rewarding process. Ever searching, ever evolving, ever growing.
“Art is a journey of constant experimentation and learning.”
