“As a child, I realized that I loved making art and that my six-year-old peers thought I had enviable skills. Since that early launch, I have relentlessly pursued the study, teaching and production of art.

During my career as an artist and educator, I have worked in many media, with my special love of drawing and art history always forming the foundation of my work.  Since 2019, I have focused exclusively on fused glass art, always seeking to push the boundaries of this relatively new art form.  As I see light traveling through the colors of glass, the luminous effect opens inexhaustible possibilities for expression that are completely unique to this material.

Although my studies and travels have led me to many countries and experiences that have influenced my art, I grew up in Iowa and remain grounded in the heartland today, with strong ties to the beauty of the land and to my family and friends here.”

Artist Reception: 3:30 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 13

Free and open to the public. Refreshments provided open house style.
