Working with fine-quality stained glass, I am inspired by the way light transforms color into lived experience. Each sheet of glass holds its own depth, texture, and movement, and I carefully select materials for their richness and luminosity.
In collaboration with my partner, Nick, we develop original patterns that balance structure and expression, blending traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary sensibility. Our designs evolve through dialogue, where line and lead become both framework and drawing.
Astrology is a meaningful influence in my design process. Celestial symbolism, planetary movement, and the language of the zodiac often inform pattern, geometry, and color choices. By incorporating astrological elements, I aim to create pieces that feel both personal and universal — connecting individual stories to the greater rhythms of the cosmos.
Light is the final collaborator in every piece. As it shifts throughout the day, the glass comes alive, casting color into its surroundings and changing the atmosphere of a space.
Our work is deeply rooted in community. Through commissioned pieces and local installations, we strive to create art that enhances shared spaces and fosters connection. By bringing thoughtful, handcrafted stained glass into homes and public settings, we aim to enrich the visual landscape and contribute beauty, meaning, and a sense of place to the community we are proud to serve.
