“Glass is my mistress and she has called me back into her presence.
Her seductive ways tempt me, seduce me and whisper secrets into my ear.
She is always the one I come back too.
The mystery of which she speaks energizes my creative mind, body and spirit.
She fills me full of vigor and life.
Understanding her is understanding myself.
I realize I am nothing without her and she will take no shape without me.
For I have awoken in a sea of darkness and she is my light..
My guidance.”

Artist Statement
Mimesis is the representation of the real world in art and literature. I use this concept as a guide to my artistic practice. I mimic what inspires and surrounds by translating it into glass, a material that is in constant motion, it is alluring and transformative. Turning my ideas into a reality through, planning, material explorations and presentation, I become the architect of my own design.
I am forever evolving and challenging myself by combining techniques to explore concepts from different angles. It starts with a notion as simple as a word, an image or a thought. By developing the idea into a collaboration of process, intimacy and display my artistic expression is revealed through sculptures, installations and performances.
