Although I was raised in North Vancouver, Coquitlam has been home for my family since 2001. My first venture in glass was etching designs on glass pieces that I cut, broke the edges and glued to a base. I have shifted to “finished” glass that I purchase. I create designs on vases, jars, platters, candle votives, wine glasses and decanters, mugs and interesting glass shapes, sizes and colors I find in my travels.

Each piece is etched by hand and each design is applied by hand. Once I have created the initial design, it is recreated by computer and the dimensions are manipulated to fit each unique glass piece. I weed and then apply each “one use only decal”. Where the decal is, the glass remains clear, all other parts of the glass are frosted.

I am pleased to discover pieces are starting to find their way to faraway places such as Australia, England, Germany, Norway, Scotland and the United States. these pieces are carefully packed in the carry-on luggage of clients as they travel to visit family and friends.

I get pleasure in seeing in piece evolve through the stages of inspiration, idea and completed piece awaiting the opportunity to find a special place in a new home. Some of my pieces are one of a kind. Many are 2,3 or 4 of a kind. The shape of the glass will often dictate the design. I hope that you will get as much pleasure giving or receiving one of my pieces as I have creating it.
