I create art work using my own glass beads and sculptures, and copper sheet, tubing and wire. Sometimes they are combined into new art objects. Please explore my site to see the many pieces available.
I am in the process of increasing my presence in art galleries and shows. Check out "My Outlets" for information.

My glass sculptures are often made into jewelry, like this Holly Leaf Necklace. All the metal part are either sterling silver or 14K gold filled. To see more, click on the word "Jewelry" above. |

I use copper for many types of sculpture, from the simple planter boxes shown to jewelry and copper animals six feet tall. To see more, click on the word "Copper" above. |
A Comission In July, 2011, I was comessioned to construct a statue for an Aninistrator that was retiring from True North Art Center. This person was always ready to do things better, and never let difficulty get in her way. Her motto was: "Reach for the Stars". I designed and constructed this trophy like piece of work with that in mind. At her retirement reception, I presented her with this statue, and she was very moved. |

How it was made The body was cut from heavy sheet copper. Many of the stars were cut from thin copper and tin. The remainder were lampwork glass. The stars were strung or soldered on thin music wire, which was then soldered to the arms. The base is a field stone, drilled for a pin. The pin is soldered to the one leg. This allows the piece to rotate, or be disassembled for storage. This type of construction could be used for many types of presentations. |
