Enameling is a time consuming process. Paints begin as a powdered glass pigment which is mixed with a variety of mediums to achieve different consistencies. The enamel is then built up in layers through reverse painting. Each layer must be fired before the next is applied. Flat glass paintings use reverse painting techniques to build imagery that is seen through the glass. I use the same techniques on blown pieces to create a three dimensional effect where the viewer sees imagery inside of the vessel.

I enjoy working with  enamels and reverse painting because it allows me to express myself beyond the typical

glassblowing confines of form and color. I begin by blowing and sculpting a clear head and base.

Flat glass paintings are reverse painted in multiple layers and firings then mounted in hand made frames.

Themes range through sociological studies, physics and social commentary. Each piece in this series is a unique

piece of art.
