Artistic Vision
 People often want to know the meaning behind my work, particularly the Planets; some think I have a profound understanding of life. I think I have an appreciation for what's around me - the sky at night, the changing seasons, the views I get looking out of my studio down the valley. I also have an appreciation for the material itself.
More than appreciative, I guess I'm curious - what do the hills around my home look like from a small airplane? What is this creature sticking its head out of this coral reef - will it bite, is it poisonous? What happens when I add metallic silver to molten glass?
I want my work to inspire such appreciation and curiosity. Viewers invent their own meaning as they gaze into the depths of a Portal or follow the bulging lines of a Copper Basket. I create objects that explore my questions. I hope to inspire viewers to ask their own.
