Capturing The Great Outdoors
Glass is a wonderful medium…its ability to capture the light, the colors, even the textures and reflections we see in nature challenge me to try to showcase the beauty all around me in the work I share!
Wild Lupine is a favorite wild flower..the texture of the blossoms in this piece are achieved with coarse cobalt blue frit.
This piece features another wildflower favorite...Montana Bear Grass that blooms in abundance up the Skalkaho. The texture of the blossoms is achieved with coarse French Vanilla frit combined with fine translucent white frit.
Quakies are my favorite trees and I am often inspired to capture them in glass. This piece mounted on stainless steel captures the reflection of the sky and some whips clouds.
Techtonics was inspired by the syncline formation in the cliffs along the Columbia River near Lyle, Washington. The syncline in this piece is achieved using the natural edges of the hand poured glass layered to resemble the folds in the rock formation.
