I began working with glass in 2008, and am continuously impressed by its versatility. My work is functional, fun, and design forward; it references colors, branding, and utility found in kitsch, antiquity, and pressed glass designs. I employ paint, found glass, and adhesive as a way to blend forms and integrate aesthetics and motif. My focus is to explore aesthetic and pattern alongside developing an approach to handmade, small-scale production products that exemplifies contemporary craft.
