Take my art home with you

Looking for a gift or a treat for yourself? Liked something at my exhibit, but someone else bought it first? Check out my work in the gift shop at the Arts Center of Saint Peter. Blown glassware, earrings and beer bottle openers. Some examples here.  Many items still available in the exhibit, as well.  If you inquired about a piece that you would like to own or wish you had asked, email me or call and I would be happy to make you a made to order piece.

Thanks to everyone who came to my opening reception and to those that purchased pieces.  It was a fantastic turnout!  I enjoyed answering your questions and sharing stories.  20180309_201337_0001.png

Glass Creation Video

Sharing this video at my opening reception to help people understand a little more about how flame worked glass beads and blown glass are created.  The video shows clips of me making beads, adding a color bit, doing a bit wrap, raking glass to create a feathered effect, and hand drawing on glass.  Additionally photos of finished pieces show how the work turns out in the end.

Upcoming exhibit

I am excited to greet people at my exhibit at the Arts Center of St Peter.  I love how work looks in the gallery.  The natural lighting and spot lights make the glass shimmer, the shelves are perfect for my smaller pieces and my work fills the space while leaving room to view the work from all sides.  My large installation is beautifully lit and the shadows give an illusion of more raindrops.  The above article was a preview of the show and I hope it brings more folks in to see it.  One minor correction, I great up near not in Corning, NY.
