As a fused glass artist, I work with many forms of glass to create a variety of different kinds of art. I work with crushed glass (glass frit), sheet glass, glass stringer (thin glass rods), dichroic glass (sparkly and shiny), and more to create my glass art. I fire them in a kiln in my home studio, and I enjoy the challenge and reward that comes with working with such a complex medium. You can take cold, sharp and strong glass and create the most wonderfully warm, flowing and smooth pieces. Many pieces I make require multiple 12-24 hour firing schedules. Due to the nature of glass, it is not possible to completely replicate a work, so every piece is truly one of a kind.
