Multidisciplinary artist living in Oakland, CA. I do too many things for my own good: Fine art, illustration, photography, and multimedia.
Also, I’m madly in love with my wire fox terrier named Bowie. I think the feeling’s mutual?

Tomorrow! My solo show, "Rare Earth," opens at La Luz de Jesus Gallery! @laluzdejesus.bsky.social
This one's called "Alarm Call V," one of a series of absurdist little vignette drawings of birds & rusty old fog horns symbolizing nature's warning signs about climate change

Working on the next piece. Not totally sure how I feel about it yet- but that’s part of the fun in these: I might go in with a plan, but I the material doesn’t always act like I expect. I have to be open to some improv. #fusedglass #glassart #oaklandartist

It survived! Now just one last pass in the kiln to bring it to its full shine. #fusedglass #glassart #oaklandartists

Update: I’ve repaired it twice now. Last time, it was so close to being finished before I found a hairline crack in it.
I’ve fixed it, and polishing it again- hopefully just one more time. Fi gets crossed… #fusedglass #glassart

This one has been a pain in the butt. Broken twice while I was working on it. But I think I’ve not only saved it, but made it better! …Let’s just hope it survives the last round of polishing. #fusedglass #glassart #oaklandartist

The final piece that I’ll be selling this summer.
This was the first panel I created of the five, and it might be my favorite piece I’ve ever made. It was as an experiment to use up scrap glass left over from the large installation panels.

Got back from the Italy/France trip and sorting through photos. It’s always humbling (and more than a little discouraging) to see how many bad photos i took.
But eventually, I find the good ones and suddenly, I feel like a decent photographer again!
Editing your work is an underestimated skill.

Of the 5 pieces I’ll be selling this summer, this one most resembles the panels from the full installation.
I learned a lot after making 25 of these for the installation, so this one-off is even more refined than the ones in the installation.

I have come to love creating white-on-white pieces. With such a minimal palette, their subtle color shifts and changes in opacity become more apparent.
This is the third panel of five which I will be selling in late summer. #glassart #fusedglass #abstract #oaklandartist #glassfusing

The second Limerent Object I’ll be selling later this summer.
In Limerence, yellow triangles represent hope. Making these helped me through some difficult times, and have become a sort of meditative practice. They are my version of prayers for protection & peace. #glassart #fusedglass #oaklandart

The first of 5 pieces I’ll be selling later this summer.
These are offshoots of a project called “Limerence”. Its pieces large and meant for an industrial space, but I’ve made smaller works (“Limerent Objects”) to fund the full project and to experiment with new techniques. #glassart #fusedglass
