"I create each piece in a private studio located in the northern Colorado mountains. I blow contemporary glass using traditional tools combined with both traditional and non-traditional techniques in a small, modern studio. Much of my artwork is performed solo in the tradition of the forefathers of the early American small studio movement, which began in the early 70's. This was the way I was taught and remains the root of my style of work. I am currently exploring the possibilities that arise when another set of hands, or an assistant, are available to aid in glass forming process. My current work is a combination of solo and assisted work."
