Glass, Inspired

Inspired by Nature

Inspired by the nature surrounding my Berkshire County home, I have been creating art in the form of paperweights, blown glass, sculptural, and lampworked glass for over 20 years.

I was raised in Litchfield County, CT and became interested in glass at the age of 19 when I visited Tim Bristow's glass studio in Webatuck Craft Village in New York. Bristow offered me an apprenticeship, and I worked under him for two years. After the apprenticeship, I worked at Arnold Larson's glass studio in Poughquag, NY, Gilmore Glass in Millerton, NY, and several other local shops before I was hired as a full time gaffer at Gartner Blade in Ashley Falls, MA. I have been with Gartner Blade for more than 20 years.
