For quite sometime I have experimented with a large variety of art forms from stone sculpture and silver smithing, to painting and printmaking. Then after many years I came across some stunning work being carved into glass by Tucson, AZ artists Michael Joplin and Debra May, and it did not take long before I realized this was the direction I wanted to go as well. I signed up for a workshop with Michael Joplin and began creating designs and exploring the process on my own while waiting for the workshop date to arrive. By the time the workshop finally began, I had already accumulated a rather large body of original, etched glasses and vases. I was very impressed with what he had to show us, and left his workshop excited and invigorated... and Woodeye Studios officially launched a couple months later! In late 2006 I began developing a technique of combining glass paints with the sandblasting process to create crisp and dramatic designs on all types of glassware. I airbrush every glass with dishwasher safe, oven hardened glass paints and then use high pressure sandblasting combined with various types of resists to etch or carve my original designs into a variety of glass. This allows me to offer up my designs as functional pieces of art that I hope you will enjoy every day.

I accept custom orders and commissions, so please send me a message if you would like a special order, or specific color combinations and I would be happy to craft them for you!

Art does not have to be a special occasion, so why not add some to your table today!
