My background is in graphic design, and that training shapes everything I make in glass. I think in terms of composition before content — negative space, color blocking, visual rhythm — and glass gives those principles weight and light they can’t have on a page.

Much of my work builds from simple geometric vocabulary: fractured citrus forms, bands of color that read almost like type-setting, shapes in tension or in motion. A piece might start as a study in movement and cadence, or as a reduction of something familiar — a lemon, a lighthouse, a horizon line — down to its essential shapes and color relationships.

This is my first year bringing work to the Sturgeon Bay Art Crawl, and it feels like the right place for it. Door County’s light and water show up in my palette whether I mean them to or not, and there’s something fitting about showing design-driven, color-forward glass work in a town built on that same clarity of light.
