Welcome to my collection of one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces in fused glass and (occasionally) stone. If you look in the galleries, you'll see that everything I make is in a more or less contemporary style. Gallery 2 shows designs that I consider more bold and aggressive, with more hard edges, both literally and figuratively.
I design all pieces and make them by hand. I use a few design ideas multiple times (stylized Christmas trees, for example), but the vast majority of designs are executed just once. Since no two pieces of glass melt the same way, I can't make exact replicas anyway, even if I tried.
This site is not set up for direct ordering. With one-of-a-kind pieces, maintaining inventory would be a huge job. The galleries are intended to give a general idea of my artistic directions and what's possible. If you see something you like, contact me with the name of the piece or pieces that intrigue you, and I will send you photos of similar pieces.
I will take commissions as specific or as general as you want. I can work from a detailed design, or vague ideas like "a small pin for a person who likes deep red." Please use the contact form if you're interested.
Thanks for looking,
