A continued investigation into horticulture and science engages my conversations in kilnformed glass. I frequently include the language of graphic design to focus my communication and messaging. Using glass silkscreening, glass kiln forming and glass casting, I use the light and color to direct my studies in texture, shape, and species.

My previous life as a horticulturist and my current work as a graphic designer feed my art investigations, the art feeds my graphic design. This year, this is my circle of life, there is always artistic inspiration to find in our world.
