Work Experience:

2018 I continue creating designs using new methods to keep my art fresh.  I have branched out with colour, tools, and age old glass blowing methods.  I enjoy my research to create these new designs. I like working with mediums of glass and stone primarily.

2017 Continuing the same theme as last year working on designs and methods with and without assistant. This year I have done considerable research on new designs that will come forth for the next 2 years. Combining sculptures with stone, glass and stone, wood and stone, and textiles and glass. I am also making some silver jewellery.
