ARTIST’S COMMENTS: The Tiffany technique uses thin copper foil and solder to join the glass pieces as opposed to lead channel. My preference for using this technique is that it allows for more intricate detailing. A love of nature and flowers is often reflected in my work, particularly in the mirrors, which are often embellished with three- dimensional flowers. The 3-D effect evolved out of boredom with working on a flat surface and the desire for a creative adventure. The more traditional designs lend themselves to the idea of antique stained glass but I try to bring a more contemporary feel to the jewelry boxes by using beadwork and decorative soldering techniciues. My designs are all original and creating a new piece from the idea, to the drawing of the pattern, to executing the finished piece is still a satisfying experience.
I moved to this area 5 years ago after living in northern New Jersey for 36 years. I
have exhibited my work in numerous gift shops as well as juried craft shows though out
the New Jersey and New York areas. I was also a long time member of 2 craft co-ops in New Jersey
