Glass Sculpture

1989 to 2008
Pedestal sculptures ranging in size from 3" to 72", incorporating a variety of optical glasses and with the color accents being dichroic glass. Highly polished and constructed. Themes are geometric and energetic, with once again my trademark tensions between straight and curved lines and optical fields which come and go.
Architectural

1986 to 1988
Freestanding structural glass with weighted bases or aluminum frames. The front is usually rectilinear and the back is complementary and abstract, creating a combination and tension of the two. There is a focal point, usually toward the top, with colored accents of dichroic and tinted glasses. Most were 8 feet tall with a commission 35 feet tall.
Blown Glass

1984 to 1986
Vessels and components for stained glass panels and screens. Colors are generally muted and enhanced with hand cut sandblasted design or a geometric/abstract nature.
Stained Glass

1977 to 1983
Abstract stained glass panels with some blown glass and cold worked elements, framed either by metal or wood, generally pursuing a monochromatic color scheme and/or varieties of clear textured glass. The pieces are about energy and color.
