I have been a glass fusing artist for over 15 years. I started out self taught and continued perfecting and expanding my knowledge as an artist and a teacher. by taking classes and extensive workshops. Many Chautauquans have taking my introductory class taught each week in the season. I also teach in South Florida and spend lots of enjoyable in my studio in Florida. In addition, I have participated in Art in the Park for over a decade. Prior to working in glass I was a potter for over 40 years. While my formal education was not in the visual arts, I have always taken great pleasure in creating and seeing others enjoy using my creations.
