"Hypnotized by
the vibration of mineral color and bright light, the danger of
handling raw shards and jagged edges seems slight and even enticing.
I am obsessed with glass and all the possibilities it promises.
Making experimental work for myself sparks my imagination and
passion for stained glass as art, as paintings to hang in the
sun. The earth seems to speak through raw glass to me. I am flooded
with visions, earthy and organic yet modern, microscopic views
to be rendered in stained glass. I am thrilled by visual texture
and naturalistic detail melted in micro thin layers, prized finds
if even in a three inch scrap. Chance compositions of abstracted
nature or alien forms are epiphanies to me. I love to turn and
shape the pieces, puzzling a seamless fit and continually searching
for the brushstrokes in each piece of glass."
