. . . . Welcome to my dreams of glass, I hope you enjoy your visit.
In our rapidly changing world, we are losing species of
plants and animals at an alarming rate.
But in the past, we have also lost the knowledge of whole artistic
techniques and processes. The history
of Pāte de Verre (paste of glass) is the history of a lost and re-found process.
I use this
lost and then rediscovered process to reproduce elements of the natural
world. In this way I attempt to capture
the fleeting beauty of the natural world with a process that itself was once thought
to be extinct. To me, this ancient
process is as necessary to the beauty of the world as are the ancient forms of
flora that I cast.
In January of 2010, I was proud to receive my Masters in Fine Art from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. To see my weaving and my MFA graduate show pieces, please visit my blog at this address:
