Artists Statement
I’m often drawn to the ethereal, to the “unknown” hidden in the mist. Mystery and a slight melancholy run through many of my pieces, which I create by fusing (in a kiln) anywhere from 9 or 25 layers of hand-enameled glass into a single, thick panel. Each layer contains a part of the final image and when fused, in finished painter art forms.
I’m best known for painting misty landscapes and for figurative work, although I’ll sometimes tackle other subjects.
