Cold working is technically defined as changing the shape or surface texture of glass. Cutting, grinding and polishing with tight tolerances is a challenging balance with artistry, leading to a sense of accomplishment along with a determination to push out my boundaries.

I prefer to let the glass itself dictate the final visual experience, one of continual revelation of a full spectrum of color blends and patterns. Success to me occurs when the glass piece captivates the viewer’s imagination and encourages him to discover something new each time he views it.
