"Vibrantly Colorful Fused & Kiln Formed Glass Art Judaica and Art Objects"
I create fused & kiln formed glass Judaica and Art Objects. Pieces that are more than just fused glass, but glass that is infused with vibrant color and life. For the over forty years that I have lived in Arizona, I have described myself as “as Colorful as the Desert Sky at Dusk.”
Now I create art that evokes those same emotions. Black, like the night sky, is the base color for much of my work. I use Dichroic glass to create the vibrant colors. The properties of this glass cause it to change colors as light moves across it. Like the desert sky at dusk, I blend unusual combinations of these ever changing hues to create my pieces.
My journey into the world of glass began in 1998, although almost unknowingly these were the first pieces I would seek out in Galleries. I find it interesting that glass is made mostly of Silica, which like my desert is sand. Strangely this desert oasis was not abundant with glass artists when I started, so except for a few basic classes and seminars, I am basically self-taught. This allowed me the freedom to part from the norm and define my own style.
My work has been in over 200 galleries and shops across the US and Canada including The Jewish Museum in NYC and the Skirball in LA. I have taught Fused Kiln Formed Glass to over 900 students the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.
