I am a glass artist based in Eastampton, New Jersey, whose creative journey unfolded in unexpected ways.

​

From a young age, I felt drawn to creating, though it took time to find a medium that truly resonated. I always knew working with my hands brought me joy, I just hadn’t yet discovered how that joy would shape my path.

​

After many years in the restaurant industry, my life shifted with the sudden loss of my mother. In the space that grief created, I felt a pull toward something more meaningful. I found my way to a stained glass class at my local community college, and soon after began working alongside an artist assembling glass jewelry. What started as a creative outlet quickly became a source of purpose and healing.

​

What I thought would be temporary soon grew into something lasting. I established a home studio where I began exploring my own designs and selling at craft shows. Before long, I formed my own business centered around this unexpected passion.

​

In 2010, I began working with discarded glass bottles taking my work in a new direction. With my background in bartending and the skills I had developed, transforming used bottles felt both natural and necessary. I couldn’t ignore how much beautiful, usable glass was being discarded and I saw an opportunity to give it new life.

Each piece goes through a detailed multi step process of cutting, separating, cleaning and kiln firing. It is a labor of love that transforms what would be waste into meaningful, beautiful pieces.

​

Today, my work is not just about creating, it is about renewal. Rooted in sustainability, every piece is a reflection of transformation. Reshaping what once was into something luminous, carrying both story and a quiet kind of magic.
