I am a native New Mexican living in Placitas, New Mexico between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. In 1992 I returned to my love of working in clay, both wheel throwing and handbuilding.
In 1997 I began to experiment by fusing found, scrap glass with my clay firings. The results were usually disappointing but often enough very interesting. As I learned more about the properties of glass, I made the transition to working with glass exclusively.

My latest work explores the three dimensional and textural aspects of this medium. Each finished piece is solid glass but is composed of numerous pieces before its first firing. The brilliant color within each piece is called dichroic glass and is exciting to work with because it presents such versatility in design.
Aside from color and design, the shape, achieved by the original cut and by grinding, can greatly enhance the look of the piece. Grinding a piece into its final shape is often dictated by the appearance of the piece after its first firing.
Eventually my husband became more and more involved with the office and photography end of the business and a lot of the non-artistic endeavors around the studio.
I am an award-winning artist and am currently focusing on large wall and table sculptures and very large bowls, but I continue to create wall hangings, smaller bowls and formal and casual jewelry for men and women. My work is sold in galleries nationally. Custom orders are always a welcomed challenge.
