Artist Statement


                                                  Finding ways to paint with glass are my constant challenges and rewards. Each piece transforms from small pieces of cut glass into images that evoke emotion. It is the magical process of color placement that transforms me and allows me to share myself with others.  After 20 years of working in mixed media, fiber, acrylics and photography I find myself working predominately in glass and clay.  No matter if the medium is glass or clay I find myself constantly pulled into the souls of the characters through their eyes. When working on clay masks the subjects find me.  Each mask seems to have a personality of its own yet as a collection they are very much related.  As an artist I feel a responsibility to capture feeling and emotions in my work which can resonate across cultural and socio- economic lines into the humanity we all share.  When working in glass or clay the outcome seems to place me one step closer to what I am trying to reach. Look closely into the eyes of the characters I display and find your direction.  Life is not always pretty, easy or clean.  The characters in my work display sorrow, strength and dignity in their struggle to exist and tell a greater story.  The piece that is right for you will pick you.
