I first began making lampwork beads in early 1997. Over the years I have learned many techniques in glass working, my favorite being in the field of murrine or cane work. I've had the opportunity to take classes with both Loren Stump and Dinah Hulet, both well known for their work in murrine. I like to use murrine to add impossibly small details to my sculptural and encased lampwork bead styles.

Halloween is my favorite holiday season, so you will see many witches year round. I also love to make fairies, mermaids, and goddesses.

I make my own canes, known as murrine and sometimes as millefiore. The techniques are similar to the way polymer clay artists build canes, except I work with molten glass. My canes are directly assembled in the flame and can involve days of making and assembling various parts to complete a final product suitable for use in my lampwork beads and buttons.

I also enjoy creating studio buttons for collectors. My collectible glass studio buttons are signed with a signature cane on the back and have polished copper shanks embedded in them.
