Using standard lampworking equipment (torch, fuel, oxygen, hand tools and kiln), I melt Italian and German made glass into tiny works of art. Flowers are my strongest point, but I enjoy making all styles and types of beads and small glass objects.

I have been making and designing jewelry in my northeast Ohio studio for over 7 years. A time came when my jewelry ideas were being limited by the beads I could purchase, so I set out to make my own. I discovered lampworking and was instantly hooked. The creation of something beautiful, from a raw cane of glass that trips all my triggers. I hope you enjoy my work.
