Artist Statement:
Working with Fused Glass is
more than an art, it's a
passion! My wife and I fell in
love with "warm glass" the
first time we got to play
around in a friends studio.
Since then we have dived in
head first - and beleive me
the water is just fine! The
fun thing about working in
fused glass as an expression
of art, is that there are no
rules, (as long as you don't
open the kiln too early and
you always have a hefty supply
of bandaids!)
Jeanne and I compliment each
other quite nicely, she's wild
and crazy - I'm wild and crazy
- what a pair!
We really do like to try new
things, and have sucessfully
tried a few things with Fused
Glass Drop Vases that we have
yet to see anywhere else. We
don't know if we are 'doing
things the right way' but let
me tell you, we sure are
having fun!
I hope you enjoy our version
of Fused Glass Art - but if
you don't, well that's ok
because we sure do! :-)...

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
My wife. I never knew I had the ability and I can assure you I really had no desire until my incredible wife Jeanne introduced me to 'warm glass' and gave me the space - time and patience to allow me to nurture my "inner artist" and often, my inner child. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
It's a long story to be honest, but in this limite space, let me just say that after buying my wife a small kiln so she could play with glass, I saw how much fun she had that I just had to try it myself.
Pretty soon we were fighting over who would get kiln space - time for me to slump but she had to Fuse - wait - no, it's my turn - I need to do a drop! So I bought a kiln that was three times the size of that first small kiln and we haven't looked back yet! |

| Your Personal Biography |
Not much to say that would really interest you - I came, I saw, I conquered. Wait a minute, that's been said before - how about this - I was born on the wrong side of the tracks on the wrong side of the city at the wrong side of the law at the wrong time of day..or was it the wrong side of the bed..no wait, let me think about this and get back to you - ok? |
