I love glass. I love the colors, and the feel, the way light reflects off or passes through the glass . I’ve been working with glass for about five years, and while I’ve learned a lot, there is so much more I would like to learn. Working with warm glass requires understanding how pieces of glass fuse together to become one piece, how the fused glass can be slumped to become a bowl or a plate, and how certain colors of glass can react to create a completely different look. Each project is an experiment in color, chemistry and physics, and I’m never quite sure what it will look like until I open the kiln.

I am a practicing lawyer, and a mostly self-taught glass artist. I haven’t taken any classes (yet), but I read, watch videos, and have learned a lot from my mistakes.

I work from my home studio in Redding, a small town in southwestern Connecticut.
