..made from old pieces of glass, individually collected over a period of several months, from different places and put together to make a unique combination, serving as "one" entity.

Each sculpture to me, seems like the human race--with different components that are very, very different in shape-size-and-color, the method they were initially made, the places they come from, the experiences they have had, the imperfections and oddities they bear. But they come together to blend into one complete piece, a family which is infinitely more beautiful and intriguing than each of them alone...and this beauty comes only in the harmony of the pieces; the absence of any one would make this family lose its comprehensiveness.

Handle on my Blues

Light up and get a handle on your blues

3 feet candle-holder or use a non-flame flickering candle -look- alike. Beautiful indoors. White, steel, chrome, black and obviously blue indoors --perfect!

Works in progress

Sculptures, still in the studio

Luminos

Let me light your day with this elegant 4 feet tall tapering sculp.

This light is just sunlight coming from a west window.

It can be made into a lamp with added multicolored strings or single white light, which can go into each of the 5 horizontal pieces.

this 10 layer heavy crystal setting can be perfect for a hall, a patio or a porch... fancy whites and blacks? This is perfect for that chic, ethnic and eccentric look.

Drop of Love

One of my more whimsical pieces.



The crown piece, the namesake "Drop": never found a second piece like that.




Imagine this in your rose garden or maybe even as a lamp. Thinking Valentines Day? Think Christmas too..

Ice-cream

Frosted pieces are rare and blue-green combinations speak to me of the sea :)
I call this 'ice-cream' because this frosted blue-green reminds of minty icecream and chilled frosty slush from the college creamery!

See how pretty that looks with the cactus-garden.

Goes with any green (I meant plants) but hey, if you want it indoors.. red walls, or pastels this icecream is a summer reminder for any wall color..

Crisp Geometry

ft. high, inches in diameter.
Crisp cuts, great diffraction of light.

The perfect blend of curves, straight lines, squares, cross-angles and perfect dimensions makes this very unique,
and if I may, enchanting,
and with customized light, would be a great indoor decor lamp.

The clarity makes it great with any wall color, although white's my favorite.

The Green Pillar

So what does Green mean to you? Crispy leafy veggies? green eyes? Lush lawns in the summer? Sustainable agriculture? Recycling?

4 ft in height and 1 foot diameter the widest part.

For the gardeners out there, this is great as an out/indoor decor: Use the bowl part for gorgeous ivy and other foliage.

The 'pillar' can be a beautiful addition to any hall with color themes of beige, whites, browns, blues or greens!

Can be used as a lamp (customized battery operated or electric lights can be put in it--well concealed of course) to get either a rubbed hue or a bright green luminescence

I have had it without light-bulbs, near a window where it gets the evening sun and I think it just looks amazing and bright

and for crying out loud..it says

"I care about green, I care about recycling".

The Queen's Window

This is one of my first pieces: about 18" tall and width-breadth of 4" at the widest points.

The pieces that went into this are 3/4" thick in most places and at least 50 years old. The color plays from light gold to deep amber and even brown, with varying ambient light.

This goes very well as window decorations, a petite table lamp, a center piece or as a zen-garden decoration. Light fittings including minimal and concealed wiring can be custom fitted, also for garden fixtures, suitable metal holdings can be provided.

the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania for Jo and Gill Ward Annual Show, Aug-Sep 2008; and
