Glass Artist
Job Artist / Heron Point Gallery
Lives In Yarmouth
I am a glass artist working with fused glass and stained glass. I work with many layers of glass at a time and design and create my own work. Mandalas are my passion, and I exhibit large glass mandalas at Heron Point Gallery and also at White Cap Grille. Inspired by the tidal river where my studio is, there is a never-ending supply of ideas. I also make autobiographical artists books, making my own papers, bindings and book structures.
Why did you choose Portland? It's a wonderful place to live, small, beautiful and full of great people.
