The heartbeat of my art is the love of landscapes. Earlier in my career, I studied and practiced horticulture and landscape design. The flow, layers, textures, hardscapes and companion plantings became integral elements to my creative art process. Drawing from my love of landscapes, my art emerged.
I have created art for most of my life however a turning point for me was 2016 when I donned a welding helmet and gloves and learned how to weld. Steel soon became the cornerstone of my art practice.
Five years later, glass also came into my field of vision. A friend asked me one day if I wanted to experiment with glass fusing. Three kilns and many bandaids later, glass has taken up residence in my studio.
Glass and Steel – these two “earthy” mediums make up my art practice today.
