“ My work is sculptural and I presently focus on blowing and casting glass. My work is inspired by our transforming nature, as seen in the process of rock through heat becoming sand and glass. Concepts for my work also derive from my Minoan background, reflecting on the relevance of the remnants of that culture. I strive to connect the individual with the elemental forces of our physical and spiritual world. In general, the emphasis of my work is to invite thought and to expand and transcend our present condition. “

	'Transformation, 9': ossuary Kiln cast glass, enamel paint $5,000 The kiln cast glass ossuary has a lid with Minoan writing. The undeciphered language from Crete dates to approximately 1,500 B.C. The size, form, surface texture, and glass opacity of the ossuary all refer to a traditional artifact excavated from an ancient grave.
	Blue Urn Green Urn Hand blown glass into rocks $950 each The urn process involved blowing hot glass into a negative space that was formed by five rocks found in Ontario. The resulting glass vessel retains fragments of rock and rock texture on its outer surface. In a primal way, the mediation of materials simultaneously explores aspects of transformation, materiality, and immateriality.
	Large Pomegranate Urn Hand blown glass $1600 Small Pomegranate Urn Hand blown glass $1200 The glass blown urn has a solid glass pomegranate seed on the lid. In color and transparency, the vessel refers to a pomegranate seed. Pomegranates, through Classical Greek mythology, are linked to the underworld or the place that our dead live.
