Kiln-formed platters are composed of various hand cut pieces of transparent, opalescent, and dichroic glass that are layered on top of each other forming a one of a kind design, and fused into flat slabs. The piece goes back to the kiln for slumping, fire polishing, and annealing. Striking colorful fused glass bowl or platter is created with patterns varying from piece to piece. No two pieces are alike, each are individually designed.

Framed Glass Panel

After more than five years of working with expensive glass, I began experimenting with a new form of art: recycled. By taking used bottles and broken cups, I’ve been able to create exciting pieces that resonate with my personal beliefs. With recycled glass, every piece is unique. Because of its lack of predictability, these pieces are always an exciting experiment. I hope to share this art with anyone interested in generating conversations and actions towards restoring our planet. Hopefully, my art will resonate with those who agree and reach an even broader audience that we need to care for our environment. These sculptures reflect exactly that.
