I fell in love with glass in the 90’s, seeing the gold and silver fumed hand pipes in the counterculture. As much as i wanted to blow glass then, it wasn't time. I didn’t get to try my hand at flame working until life threw me a curveball with chronic autoimmune issues that stopped me in my tracks. My pain management issues led me back to cannabis and glass now in my 40’s. My wife and I realized that this was something i could pursue as my health sees fit and we set out on this path to build the studio!
My fascination with borosilicate flame working was fueled by the color spectrums and optics possible with the masterful application of gold and silver on clear glass. I have been striving and learning to make the most vivid beautiful work I can! I make whatever I'm inspired to at this point and there is always something new in the works!
Glass has felt like the culmination of every single interest/skill I've had over my 45 years of living. Im an artist and mechanic at heart and truly believe I've found my calling with this medium.
Favorites techniques: deep striking silver implosions, inside out gold and silver, retticello, fumacello, but mostly i just enjoy getting a big blob of glass ripping hot and making magic happen! I was born for this!!
