How is your case made? I hand make my glassware using kiln-formed glass molds and kiln techniques. Each piece is hand-painted with special glass enamels and then kiln-fired to enable the enamels to fuse.
What was the inspiration for the design? By combining my graphic design background and love of design with my passion for working with glass, I am able to create unique pieces of glass art. My family is a combination of many different cultures that have influenced her art, especially her grandmother Marie Glaser. My diverse training in graphic design, metalsmithing, photography, and silk painting led me to glass as an intriguing art medium. Impressionism greatly influences my style, and the colors of nature and the environment are recurrent themes in my work.
