Artist Statement / Biography

I like experimenting with fused glass in trying to capture the luminosity, transparency, and radiance of light. I seek to explore the unfolding of forms, colors, textures in the layering of glass and inclusions.

This art form has taught me patience, focusing, perseverance, and the enjoyment of experimentation. No matter how much you learn, the moment of opening the kiln is always a surprise.

My work has been accepted in several juried shows including Paradise City Art Fair, The American Craft Festival at Lincoln Center for the Performing arts, Great Barrington. Massachusetts Crafts Fair, Berkshire Craft Festival, ArtRider Rhinebeck, NY, the Boston Christmas Festival, Lexington Craft Fair, Massachusetts, Andover Crafts in the Park, Massachusetts, the Codman Estates, Lincoln, Massachusetts, Greeley Park, Nashua and Art in the Park, Keene, NH League of Craftsmen Sunapee Fair.

My work has been shown at the Bunker Hilll Community College, Homage to Boston Area Artists; the Sharon Arts Center, Peterborough, NH; Jaffrey Civic Center, NH; Dana Farber Cancer Institute; Gardner Museum, Gardner, Massachusetts.

I am a member of the NH League of Craftsmen, The Monadnock Area Artists, Gardner Area League of Artists, and Vice President on the board for the Monadnock Art/ Friends of Dublin Art Colony Open Studio
