My love of art has evolved over the years. From buying it to making it. From going to Art Shows to
doing Art Shows. I have done everything from painting to pottery. I have found peace with glass. It
is all consuming. It is an art form that draws you in and holds you there for hours.  I have taken
classes from Edy Seaman in Solon, OH  and with Master Glass Artist Loren Stump at the Corning
Museum of Glass in N.Y.
Making a glass bead is like painting a picture. You start with a blank canvas. What ever has inspired
me comes out in my work. One day it can be colorful and full of life. Those are the ones I love the
most. The ones that inspire me to push the limits to take risk even if I know not everyone will love
them. I look at them and they make me smile. I hope they make you smile.

I belong to ISGB, Trumbull Area Artist ,  Trumbull Art Guild and Artists of the Rust Belt.
