APPROACH

Artist, primarily designing and creating stained glass, mosaic, and terrazzo.

PHILOSOPHY

I am inspired by the idea of place: of defining a space with a sensitivity that can transform, celebrate, and engage the redemptive qualities of metaphor for the profoundly personal and communal in people's lives.

TRADITIONS SERVED

All traditions served. An ecumenical approach is my strength, and my background is Lutheran. My artwork is open and inviting.
