A life spent living in contrasting cultures and countries weaves into a love of nature and gives my work its vibrancy and uniqueness. Tropics and temperate zones each contribute their wealth of subjects and styles. To celebrate the dynamics of the natural world, I try to incorporate movement and rich color in each piece.

Glass is a fantastic medium for depicting the diversity of nature. Like in the outdoor world, its rich array of textures, translucence and color shine or recede as the daylight changes and the lights of night appear. Whether in the direct sunshine or reflecting the glow of indoor lamps, these colors jump to the observer’s eye and draw us into their shape and rhythm.
