“Alice in Wonderland” as a child that is how I felt looking at the drawings, paintings and sculpture in my Uncle’s shop. When I become absorbed in creating, the same wondrous childhood feeling - my “magic moment” takes over. Like Alice, I am propelled along the path, capturing unexpected delights.Featured Work

African Elephant
Glass
2016
African Elephant was conceived from a photo I took while on an African Safari. The piece consists of three panels of clear glass. I drew parts of the image on each panel, used glass frits and glass paint, on each panel, fused the separate sheets in a kiln then placed them together and fused into one solid piece of glass. The finished piece appears to be 3-dimensional because of the technique.
Sailing
Aluminum
2017
Sailing is my interpretation of a sailboat gliding through the water with the sun shining brightly. The work is on aluminum with a black metal frame.
Lion King
glass
2017
Lion King is created in fused glass using glass frits and glass paint. Three sheets of glass are used with part of the image on each panel. When fused together, the work appears to be 3 dimensional.
