Shadows and texture, transparency and fluidity, color and light. These are the qualities of kiln-fired glass that inspire my art. I develop intimate landscapes by sifting finely crushed colored glass onto clear sheet glass and firing them in my kiln for up to 300 hours total. Using four separate layers of glass, I build the composition one layer upon the other, resulting in a 3-dimensional landscape filled with layered images and shimmering light. Each piece is one of a kind.
