Living on the westcoast in basically a rainforest makes for many a rainy day. I like the sound of rain on the roof, preferably at night, but the gray overcast during the day I could do without. It tends to depress me, and we get days and days of it here in a row.
I usually open the windows, letting in some fresh air and try and get some work done in the studio. If I can't get motivated at all I retreat to the couch, with a good book and the cat.
I have been creating tiny works of art in glass since 2003, in my home studio in Victoria BC Canada. Working mainly in soft glass I love the colors and reactions they provide. I draw a lot of my inspiration from the Canadian wilderness and the lovely gardens in my area. Victoria is known as the “Garden City”. My personal love for animals and wildlife provide me with a constant source for artistic vision. My other passion is horses we own, breed and train! Between the two passions I am always busy! I am happy to do color requests if you have an idea you are dying to see transfer into glass, but can’t promise it’ll be exactly as your mind had it envisioned! Glass sometimes has a mind of it’s own.
I am a member of the ISGB and Pacific Pyros. I am a self representing artist which means all the beads you see are handmade, one by one, by me! They all go directly from the torch to the kiln, making for consistent crack free beads.
