"As a glassmaker, I like making objects that have a purpose, objects that people interact with daily or on special occasions that become an enriching part of their personal lives. Items that they entrust with food and flowers or raise to their lips and drink from. As an artist, I am most interested in creating objects inspired by the beauty of nature. I enjoy the profound simplicity of making things with my hands utilizing fundamental tools and skills developed in an old-fashioned way."
