My design style
All of my pieces boast high quality components and my designs are usually unique. I go for variety in materials and like to produce harmonious designs composed of disparate pieces. Also, I’ll try anything!
Materials
Lampwork
If you know lampwork, you know it’s spendy. That’s because every bead is individually hand-torched and high quality glass Borosilicate, Lauscha, Effetre/Moretti or Vetrofond and they are kiln annealed for strength.
American lampwork artists have elevated beadmaking beyond art and science with technique and color combinations that defy the imagination. Beads in my work come mostly from self-representing artists (SRAs) whose beads scream self expression like:
