" I am from New York City originally but I have lived in Connecticut, Switzerland and England,
and now reside here in Cleveland to finish up my studies in glass at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

      I am fascinated in the materials ability to communicate with an audience and the physical
properties as well (Transparent, opaque, smooth, rough, sharp, and it can look like any other
material). The colors of glass are unequaled as well.

      I am interested in making work about social issues that either go unnoticed or are aren't talked
about. Sometimes I make up social issues that don't even exist but reflect ones that do.

      I am also interested in creating art that can be veiwed by all genres of people.
There is no one class, gender, race that cannot relate to what I try to discuss. Other things about me
would include that I love funk, kitsch and campy art, I love food and am an avid believer in
slapping work and play together and seeing what happens."
