I bought a farm, and I am making it my masterpiece. |
I am intrigued by hot glass. As a material, it is seductively versatile and a real joy to work with! It's almost like it's alive!

I am intrigued by hot glass. As a material, it is seductively versatile and a real joy to work with! It's almost like it's alive!
Each piece requires teams of people. Organizing and finding the right group is essential.
Many of my designs are influenced by placing emphasis on the limitations of the glass. I use the whole gamete of techniques, additive, subtractive, manipulative (from inside and out), while creating forms and textures simultaneously. Some designs are more ephemeral, locked into place within a very short and specific time frame.
I love to draw. I love to design. I love to experiment. I love the sense of discovery within the process.

Thank you. I have to say by buying a farm and making it your master piece you are making your life your master piece by following your dream and by using the gifts you've been given. Also, the glass is alive because you bring it to life. Your work is beautiful and even the photos of it is beautiful art!!! Props also to your photographer. Keep up the great work and continue to follow your bliss. Peace Penny (i would give a star or stars but I don't know how to do that yet)
