Color excites and challenges me!  It is exhilarating to transform my vision of color and shape into an actual composition of fused glass. After 15 years of working in fabric art, I discovered fused glass in 2004 and found I was even better able to convey my love of color and design in the fused glass medium.  I believe I have just begun to skim the surface of fusing.  I plan to dig deeper, learn more, break some (more) glass, and continually experiment to expand my repertoire of kiln working techniques.  My greatest inspiration is my imagination.  A vision becomes my springboard for new design.  Abstract work, whether representative of a thought or feeling, or simply an abstraction of a common figure, allows me the freedom to create without boundaries.  For me, glass and color come together and provide a joyfully creative form of expression.
