"I find glass as seductive as it is challenging.  As a particularly unforgiving medium, an artist has endless creative opportunities to design for its unique properties; the only limitations are their imagination and skill in working with the material.  I've always been captivated by how one can use this enigmatic material to achieve virtually any form, hold elements in suspension, and achieve great detail or soft abstraction. Its flexibility as a medium is matched by the difficulty it presents in using it to execute precise work."
