I have had a fascination with glass since I was about seven years old. At different periods in my life, I have been lucky enough to work with this wonderful material. Using my years of experience in stained glass, it was a natural transition to start producing kiln-formed glass pieces when I returned to my first love after years in other fields. My color choices are generally bold. I truly love color. There are several artists whose styles have inspired me, but I have taken strip fusing techniques to another place with a unique layered twist. My tastes run from basic geometric pieces to those showing color, depth and movement. I’m transcending the surface quality of glass fusing to get to a third dimension.

| Warm Glass The process of fusing, slumping or other kiln forming techniques at temperatures between 1100 and 1700 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| Fused & Slumped Glass fusing is the process of joining together pieces of glass. When the right kind of glass is heated and then cooled properly, the resulting fused glass piece will be solid and unbroken. Using fusing techniques, the artist creates patterns and designs in color. The resulting sheet of fused glass is then slumped into the vessel shape. In the slumping process the glass is laid into, or on top of a mold and heated just to the point where it "Slumps" to fit the form of the mold. Once the glass reaches the desired form it must be cooled quickly enough to stop the movement. Although this might sound simple, the resulting products can be quite intricate in their design and require hours of painstaking labor. |
