I work in fused glass, and landscape appeals most as a subject. But I’m less interested in depicting a particular place than in capturing the feeling of it — the silence of a forest in snow, the riot and gaiety of autumn, or the mystery of Venice in the mist. 

Ultimately, I’d like my work to evoke a quiet curiosity, encouraging viewers to build their own narrative or connect with a lingering memory, not necessarily of the exact place but of a felt emotion.

I work in two ways. One is to let the glass speak first, allowing the patterns, swirls, and hints of color in the glass to suggest a landscape idea that I will build on. The other is to combine photo images that I’ve shot over the years with multiple layers of transparent glass,  which soften the edges, adding atmosphere, mystery and mood.
