My glass is not a job.
It is my joy, my frustration, and my passion.
I believe that there is no cure.
“
My island informs my art; rain forest, cloud forest, glorious reefs,
spectacular views and … at the risk of being trite, morning rainbows.
In Saba, we are isolated by time and space ,
blessed and sometimes cursed by weather.
Nature is closer than in other places.
This and the remarkable people, brought me here.
When you visit my studio you will see a demonstration of bead making.
You will see a frog or a fish come alive from glass and flame.
”
In seeing the creation, you will know the story.
