Skills and Techniques

I have worked in glass since 2004, and metals since 2006, when I took a Metalsmithing Fundementals class at the Oregon College of Art and Craft. I have picked up many techniques in glass and jewelry along the way from some fabulous teachers, such as Larry Brickman, Kimberley Affleck, and more. Glass is so accessible now, and I have also learned a lot about metals and design online in various artisan forums and communities.

Get to Know

My work has been on display in the Museum of Contemporary Craft, and featured in magazines such as The Flow and Bead Unique.

I started working in glass in 2003, and opened juiceglass in 2004. My inspiration comes from where I live, what comes to mind while nursing my son at 3 am, and my experiences on the road in the world of rock n' roll.

I am an experience junkie, and want to do as much as I can with the time I have. I love sharing my glass, my work, and my thoughts with people. Community, and time to do what we wish are our two greatest currencies.

I hope you enjoy exploring my work. Commissions welcome!
