Visual Art – Dallas - Fort Worth

As a student of nature, lines, dots, color, and patterns I am enchanted by the beauty of this world. I am compelled to express what I see through stained-glass mosaics. Having explored mediums of clay, ink, watercolor, acrylic, textiles, and sacred geometry throughout my life, I stumbled upon stained glass in 2015. I became enchanted with the contrast of threat and vulnerability inherent in glass. It was a natural progression to take drawing sacred geometric designs into the world of light and color through stained glass. Each piece begins from a single point of creation and evolves through meditation using a compass and ruler. I have discovered profound spiritual potential and connection to the world we inhabit in the exploration of light, color, and patterns. Just as people have many facets on a given day, my mosaics produce variations as the sun journeys across the sky. It is my intention to bring the wonders of nature and the transformative properties of glass to others so they may in turn be transformed by the beauty of this world we share.
