Artist Statement

What can I say? Is there just one 'look' that's me? I don't think so. I'm all over the place. I continue to evolve and it's a wild experience! I like to be imaginative, turn 'mistakes' into 'successes'...sometimes it works and sometimes not, but taking the challenge is half the fun! 

Bio

I was born in Washington, DC and lived in a house full of music from my Welsh grandmother and her friends--she passed on the gift of song and piano.  My father’s family passed on other artistic gifts on many levels—I had two great uncles, a great grandfather, and an aunt who were all professional artists in painting. Other family members were creative in sewing and crafts. So, it’s in the genes.  I’ve painted, drawn, and sculpted ever since I was a child, but did not have the confidence to pursue a career in art.  So, after years in a government job, I retired and found “freedom” in glass!  I’ve taken numerous classes and exhibited up and down the east coast.  I usually fuse glass in both 2- and 3-dimensional format but work with mosaics and stained glass too!
