Torch Worked Glass and Metal Jewelry
Combining decades of torch worked glass making, metal smithing and yoga practice has resulted in jewelry pieces that are infused with artistic skill and the creative flow of energy. The creativity begins with a specific design and as the glass flows or the metal moves I allow it to guide me; it’s a moving meditation practice that fills me with joy.
Though you may be drawn to my work for its beauty, I am told there is an unmistakable energy to each piece.
In 2002 friends asked if I’d like to take a lamp work glass making class with them at the Mesa Arts Center. Hooked after the first class, I loved the way the glass moved and the alchemy of mixing colors. Within a year I quit my management job, became a certified yoga teacher and a full time glass and jewelry artist.
