My parents impressed upon me their view of a successful life: "Busy people are happy people." But I slow down and relax when flameworking glass in my studio, and this state of mind enables me to patiently and meticulously craft these complex hollow forms.
It's magical when I transform four-foot sticks of glass into scuplture while seated at the controls of a bench burner. Flameworking glass fills me with a sense of accomplishment and integrity and has proven over time to be my vehicle of expression, of translating inner vision to outer reality.
