Working With Glass
Once I decided to explore glass as a material, I had to deal with the limitations of what I could produce in my studio. It also limited my aesthetic options to geometric forms. By producing scale models and then full-size mock-ups (which I disassembled), I was able to deliver templates to a glass company for fabrication, then to my studio for assembly.

Select Commissions
This work represents some of the functional and aesthetic-driven commissions from a variety of different clients / patrons.
Under The Microscope
This series takes its' cue from my early biology studies. Aside from the initial piece, "Enlargement", slides viewed horizontally under a microscope, are displayed vertically with the specimens moving toward the top.
WhimziCal
Time to have fun - parts of these pieces have been "recycled / re-imagined from elements of earlier work, while all have been mostly created from raw materials already present in my studio.
M.F.A. Thesis:
For my Master's Thesis, I chose to take a page out of my past life as a rock drummer and create a set of sculptural drums - shells fabricated from imbuia, a hardwood from Africa - rims and stands cast in bronze.
