As a Professional Artist, I really enjoy the commission work that comes into my studio. Last week, I was given a task from the Corning Family, formerly of Massachusetts, currently of Florida…a lovely group with whom my family has grown quite friendly. The end product, a beautiful fused glass platter, turned out very well…it incorporated the correct color combination, addressed a theme of community and growth, and came with a brief description and story. Articulating thoughts and ideas into art [...]

While reading up on the convoluted structures [...]

With the Royal Wedding just days away, it is impossible to escape the media blitz of the pending nuptials.

Leaving much to the imagination, I see this as a series and having many options…maybe add colorful seasonal fruit or weave ribbons [...]

Transforming this lump of Titanic coal into a treasured work required some magic on my part. It seems that re-cycling objects and re-assigning value to them is what I do best. This was a great opportunity to learn about the Titanic, preservation of artifacts,  protecting a delicate object, and inventing new ways of attaching things. This curious window, comprised of Art Glass and Fine Silver, beckons you to peer into it.  The delicate scroll work around the sides is indicative [...]

18 inches of lustrous green pearls (5-7mm ovals) intermingled with Serpentine Jade carved and faceted beads. The center piece, a Fine Silver ornate hollow form, is set with a synthetic Peridot at the apex. I have dangled a replica Ancient coin (Roman on one side/Spanish on the other) with a patinated finish from the very center. A magnetic clasp finishes it off, making it very user friendly. This is a statement piece you will want to wear frequently…and please do!

Red fused glass surrounded by a Fine Silver bezel and a dot with purple Dichroic glass at the bottom. This is kind of an exclamation…not a regular “I Love You”.
