Over the past few years I’ve dedicated the majority of my time to studying the foundational history of stained glass, as well as the structural skill and fabrication that goes into window making. It’s something that I’ve enjoyed doing, and with practice, I’ve honed my skills to become clean and precise. This is where I part ways with traditionalists, embracing craftsmanship and technique while leaving behind templates, prefab designs, and old-school aesthetics.
Originally a painter, I received a bachelor's in fine art where I learned the artistic freedom that comes with exploring and breaking rules. I labor over my glasswork with this in mind, reworking, fussing and erasing, especially when I accidentally start to follow them again.

“Artists, you are all limited. But, your awkwardness, coming at art from all angles, doing it wrong, that is your technique, your style. You have more of your technique than anyone else on earth. It is a negative imprint of you. Get to work, you big babies.”
