1964- 2019 Celebrating 59 years in Glass

Starting the backyard of my parents home in 1964 , I built a small glass furnace, along with a pottery furnace and began a life long exploration into the glass movement.

At first just simply trying to control the glass, then moving along to try and actually make utilitarian objects. I spent years making stemware, vases, and craft related items to sell at local markets, but it wasn't until I attended a workshop with the now famous Lino Tagliapietra, glass master from Italy, that I opened up the possibility to create anything I wanted. The skills that I had learned making stemware were now valuable to me to create custom work and on to become a master glass worker myself.

I use the glass blowing technique that is traditionally Italian and work at the "bench" blowing the glass with a stainless steel blow pipe.

I have spent my life blowing by myself and learned this technique on my own. I continue to work alone and although it presents some limitations, I have figured out ways to combine my work to get beyond those limitations.

I now spend most of my time creating Lighting products, custom glass ceilings, wall art and sculpture. I have always used re cycle glass as my basic product and now have even invented a line of recycled-recycled product using my retired blown glass into a new fused and slumped line called "Adventures in Paradise" glass mosaics. I break up the glass and lay it out randomly, fuse it so that it is one piece again, and then when cooled, reheat it into a shape, mostly a dome lamp or wall pieces, back splashes and on.
