Kiln-formed glass
Artist’s statement:
The southwest has always been an inspiration for artists. For me, it was the desire to replicate the high desert’s beauty that drove the development of my early glass-working processes. As my art has evolved, I have used my experience in graphic design to achieve ordered and balanced compositions – the theme that further unites the components of this series. The processes and materials themselves have inspired and exhibition of art’s elements – line, pattern, texture, balance, color, light, and composition – created from Earth’s elements, sand and ore.
