Artist Statement

I am inspired by the natural world that surrounds us. The ocean in particular captivates me; waves seem at times so smooth and gentle, yet full of raw power and determination. There lies beneath the surface a whole world unlike that which we experience everyday. This world is full of foreign species, both plant and animal, adorned in rich vibrant colors and patterns. It is a world that I can explore in my mind, a dream world based on my interactions with reality.

I am also intrigued by the traditional vessel form. In much of my work I attempt to find a balance between the natural environment, which is organic, and the functional man-made object. An example of this is a seascape that envelops a functional vessel, combining the two worlds in a harmonious balance of form and function.

Originally intending to be an oil painter, my energies were focused on landscapes and still-life when I was seduced by a medium that was more tactile and allowed me to capture these images in 3D. Because my work is inherently about beauty, glass enables me to further embellish on the aesthetics found in nature, enhancing the look of things that already appeal to me for their exquisiteness. And, because I often focus on marine life and acquatic themes, the fluid movement of glass plays homage to the underwater world that I try to portray.
