I am a stained glass artist in the Northern Virginia area. I have been doing stained glass off and on for the last 27 years. As I write this, I am astounded to realize just how long I've been enjoying this hobby. 

 

I love working in glass and playing with how it interacts with the light both as it goes through the glass and is reflected back by the glass. I view myself painting in glass just as an liquid medium artist paints with pigments.

​For the last few years, I have been making pieces on a Propane/Oxygen torch that burns at about 3000oF. That's me in the googly glasses at the torch on the Lampworking page of this site. I enjoy creating stand alone sculpture, beads, and pieces to incorporate into my fused pieces.
