Nature has always captivated and healed me. From the azure blue of coastal waters to the old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest. It is from these times spent in nature that a creative spirit was born in me. We are creators born in this spirit. My highest satisfaction is achieved when I feel that energy in my chest, flowing through my hands and into the glass. There is a moment when the molten glass takes it's first breath of life. That is why I do this.
