Collaboration is a key part of my art practice. I have the luxury of having a fantastic partner, who is thoughtful, critical, and incredibly skillful… and even better Marta and I enjoy working together.

One of the most meaningful parts of being an artist is when people trust you with personal work. After Blown Away, a client asked to create a memento mori for her son. I used elements of her son's life to honor him.

Being an artist is a job. Its something I love, but something that genuinely kicks my ass as well.

Had a blast making this ‘handstand’ at The Glass Furnace in Istanbul. This was one of the demonstrations I did during my class. I couldn’t make this work if it weren’t for the amazing palette of Kugler Colors #artprocess #behindthescenes #art #artistlife #turkiye #istanbul

I share my studio (and my life) in Gent with the amazing Marta Byrdziak who is also an artist making incredible work.

I am known mostly for my political and socially driven work and the realism I am able to capture in molten glass. You can find my work in www.backdoorart.com Follow me for more insight into my work!

I am a sculptor working most often with molten glass. You can see me work on Blown Away Season 3 on Netflix.

I want to introduce myself here.
I am originally from Philadelphia and have been living in Gent, Belgium since 2013. I am binational, having gotten my citizenship here a few years ago.

What does ‘home’ mean to you? There is so much discussion over this topic in recent weeks because of the fires in LA and Altadena, an upturn in ICE raids, the neo-colonial renaming of indigenous landmarks, and Trump’s attack on the 14th amendment.

Got to see one of my all time favourite sculptures today.

Making a glass hand for a new sculpture. Its been a little while since I’ve worked figuratively and I am looking forward to working on this piece in the new year!
