I have been making Glass since 1971and have lived in Santa Cruz since 1972. I have had several private studios, and in 1998 began teaching at Palo Alto High School, where I began a Fiery Arts program teaching Sculpture, Ceramics, Bronze Casting and Glass Making. I retired  from Paly in 2012 and now work in my Studio in the Santa Cruz Mountains above Aptos making Custom Lighting, Glass Vessels, Ceramics, Monoprints, and Woodcut Prints.

The Window series of vessels are an exploration in the Italian style using murine and cane, cased in Crystal. They are labor intensive vessels that require many hours of prefabrication, are hand-blown, one-of-a-kind collectibles. The Expression series are also difficult and large pieces requiring a team of three to make. They came about from watching Hummingbirds. I see them as a sort of expressionistic painting with glass.
