About

1. 1. 
      
      I am a Glass Artist + Jewelry Designer based in Charleston, SC, and Golfito Costa Rica. My career as an artist began while teaching art to school children in Botswana Africa, where I served with the US Peace Corps.
      
      As a flameworker, I use heat to shape glass. The liquid nature of my medium dictates my process; shapes are built drop by drop in alternating opacities creating iridescent surfaces. My techniques include etching, pressing, sewing, use of dichroic & high silver glass for vibrant metallic textures.
      

Using the medium of glass to mimic luxurious natural materials like fur, precious gemstones or fine-grain wood translates a lifelong interest in natural history & the spirit for adventure.
