I am thrilled to have this detailed glass work facing the outdoor light for clear viewing. The sun shines through the layers and highlights the true depth.

We had a wonderful turnout for the artist talk on October 22nd, with so many interested in the work and how it was made. Attendees asked great questions and were curious and engaged in every step of the process. What a joy to share a peek into this process of kiln-firing layers of glass onto metal and the many techniques involved.

Many thanks to all who have come to see the work, and to Donna Guardino for making this exhibit possible in her beautiful space.

If you haven’t seen it, head on over!

For many gallery visitors, this may be the first time seeing the seductive beauty of vitreous enamel applied to sculptural steel form.

If you have questions about the work, just send an email. I look forward to talking with you!
