I have worked in various media such as acrylics, pen & ink, pencil and pastels but my primary fascination and passion since childhood has always been glass. Glass is a medium that presents many challenges but the dynamic quality of a finished piece gives me a sense of satisfaction that other media don't. I love the effect that light has on a piece of glass, the many moods that can be expressed throughout the day as that light changes and how that transmitted light can enhance an environment.

I finally working in glass in 1980 and now focus my work on multiple depth sand carving and stained glass, frequently combining these techniques in the same piece. I do all of my own original design work and while I feel my particular talent is as an artist/designer, I take great pride in my craftsmanship and do all of my own fabrication and hand cut all of my own stencils.

In 2002, I was selected to represent the State of Virginia by designing an ornament for the White House Christmas Tree. This ornament is included in the Permanent Ornament Collection of The White House. In 2003 I was selected to create a set of three ornaments for the Virginia Governors Mansion Christmas Tree.
