This is a custom made front door for a private residence in Oregon. The fused glass elements are visible from both sides of the door and provide a warm flooding light to the room. The fused powdered glass imagery of garden flowers and insects is fused on to both sides of the glass panels so that the imagery reads consistently from the front and the back of the door. The solid core door is oak. Each panel is installed in the door using custom made trim and silicone.

I make handmade, kiln formed decorative art glass for commercial and home uses. I offer a wholesale line of tableware and interior lighting, as well as custom lighting, tile installations, and unique architectural elements.
I primarily use a glass making process called powder printing. An adaptation of screen printing, powder printing also employs the use of screens and photosensitive emulsion, but instead of pushing ink on to paper, I push powdered colored glass onto layers of sheet glass which is then fused together in the kiln. The glass pieces are then trimmed and mounted as tiles or set up over ceramic and metal molds and slumped into forms for lighting or tableware. I also create my own slumping molds, fabricate lighting armatures, and build my own kilns and other equipment.
