My main body of work is built in layers of colored and clear glass. Different opaque and transparent colors are added and subtracted to create variation in tone and mark. The resonating color is richly textured and unique, much like the surface of a canvas painted with oils. The poetry of the color finds compliment in form. The symmetry of the vessel is often subtly augmented to respond to the color, creating a delicate balance within the work. My glasswork references the Italian tradition of glassblowing in craft and aesthetic while maintaining a distinctly personal expression. Influenced by the work of DaVinci, Monet, Tagliapietra, Degas and Rosin, I bear strong consideration to their historical innovations when conceptualizing my own pursuits. My artwork is consistently changing and developing in both conceptual content and formal aesthetic, growing with time, with knowledge, with me. Formal Education: Columbus College of Art and Design.
