After a 15 year career in the finance industry, a chance encounter with a glass artist changed the direction of my life.  Captivated by the beauty of the glass, I soon found there was no turning back.  That was over 6 years ago!

I sought out every educational experience I could find.  I have studied with Anna Boothe, Mitchel Gaudet, Michael Dupille, Leah Fairbanks, Loren Stump and Pam Dugger among others.

I am the EM>studio wenchfor Tink of Blackswamp Glassworks and create in my own studio. 

My beads and fused work are available through retail shops and galleries throughout North America.  I recently taught at the 2004 Art Glass Invitational and serve as the Teaching Assistant for Tink at the Toledo Museum of Art School of Art and Design and other venues.  I am a member of the International Society of Glass Bead Makers and the Glass Art Society.
