I create a wide variety of colorful and unique hand-painted and etched glassware, designed with fun and functionality in mind! I began painting glass about eight years ago. It started as creating something fun and functional for myself, and slowly progressed into a small business. My clientele has grown from friends and family to now include the public through a variety of arts and craft shows and retail stores and galleries. My audience is growing, and so are my glass creations. In addition to hand-painted glassware, I have also added etched glassware. The hand-painted and etched pieces are safe for food and drink, and most are dishwasher and microwave-safe. Each piece is truly functional for everyday life. In addition I also do acrylic painting, jewelry making, photography and copper enameling. I love trying new mediums and I especially love teaching art to others (kids especially) - I love to see and help others find their creative talent.
