Bio

I'm a retired physician who loves breaking glass. In 2011, after taking a glass fusion class with the glass artist Yvonne Yaar, the craft became my passion. Learning from various artists in glass art studios in New Jersey and Florida, I continued to explore this wonderful art media. The colors and textures of glass are fascinating and excite my creativity. The glass fusion process allows the glass to find it's own path or way. The artist just provides basic structure. Each piece takes on it's own unique character. I started making ikebana floral vases after my husband purchased a ceramic one. Determined to make one by fusing glass, I create the tops from fusible glass then look for interesting small glass bowls for the base. The floral vase is then completed by epoxying kenzan/frog pins of various sizes to the base. When form and function join, it is beautiful to me. I've since ventured into other fused glass art forms (jewelry, wall/table art, bowls and serving dishes) and have purchased my own kiln so the excitement continues.
