For the most part, I am self-taught. While nibbling at a fine arts degree over the years expanded my knowledge of color and design, I believe I have always been drawn to the reuse of salvaged and broken treasure. This affinity has led directly toward dressing rusty forgotten history in glorious glass and destructing paper materials and photos into new little worlds .My technique is a unique adventure every time I work. Looking Glass is very much like life itself - an assemblage of parts bonded by history, love and accidents.
