I use the copper foil method of stained glass construction to make window hangings and decorative objects that play with geometry and optical illusion. Although I work primarily in glass, I often create imagery that is inspired by other mediums such as architecture and textiles. I enjoy making these visual connections across mediums. All my patterns begin with hand-drawn images, so my final pieces are often quirky, and fluid in appearance.
