Statement
|
|
I have always had a fascination with glass. The way it looks at different times of the day, the texture, color and tints. Stained glass is my palette of colors that I use instead of paint. It is a medium that is challenging and inspirational to my creativity. I also like to make artwork created from reused materials that otherwise would have been disposed of in landfills. Among the diverse materials that I use are old windows, cabinet doors and found objects that I transform into decorative artworks.
