I discovered glass blowing in 1998 at the Arkansas Arts Center after receiving an art degree from Hendrix College. It was my calling in life, my creative avenue for expression. I use nature, chance, fashion, and my emotions as inspiration for my art glass. My art is playful, adventurous, colorful and distinctive. When I make something I always begin with the end in mind. However, during the glassmaking process the design can change.
