"Tipsy the Poet"
"Coronus the Sensei"
"Carlton the Future Astronomer"
"Shireen the Dragon Diva"
The dragons above were my most creative efforts for 2011.
Created as a family for the annual Invitaional Miniature Show at the Charles H. Taylor Art Center in September, each piece fits within the confines of a 4.5" cube. They are made of Borosilicate (hard) glass and are currently available for sale at Blue Skies Gallery.
Soft Glass Marble PB&Y MK2011
I have also been enjoying an exploration of making marbles using both hard and soft glass. I am seeking a style of marble that is uniquely my own, here is an early effort.
What's next?
The past few years have been busy ones for me. Due to travels to assist family I have seldom had the amount of time I wanted to explore lampworked glass and the adjunct art forms that I combine it with and that has meant a lot of locked up creativity for me. I can make many kinds of glass objects and beads now in both 'hard' and 'soft' glass and I delight in doin so when I can. The question for me has become one of figuring out what I want to focus on and how to spend my time to do so. That is the challenge for 2012.
Over the years I have benefitted from study with some wonderful instructors; Kathy Johnson, Deanna Griffin Dove, Jennifer Geldard, Chad Trent, Brad Pearson and more.
I am grateful to all and strive to honor their generosity by finding my own voice in my work.
