About

As the founder of Funky Glassworks nestled in the serene landscapes of Mountain Home, Arkansas, I immerse myself in the transformative art of glass. Specializing in stained glass, fused glass, mosaics, and traditional glass painting, my work is a vibrant celebration of color, light, and creativity.

Glass, with its fluidity and luminosity, captivates me endlessly. Through my craft, I endeavor to not only create pieces of beauty but to also cultivate a thriving glass community. At Funky Glassworks, I invite newcomers into this mesmerizing world through regular classes and captivating demonstrations. It’s my passion to spark curiosity and nurture talent, ensuring that the art of glass continues to evolve and flourish.

My studio serves as both a sanctuary for artistic exploration and a gallery where my creations find their home. Each piece tells a story—of meticulous craftsmanship, of bold experimentation, and of the innate beauty found in the play of light through glass. Beyond my studio walls, my art travels the globe, connecting with admirers who share in my fascination with the versatility and allure of glass.

Whether it’s the intricate geometry of stained glass, the unpredictable fusion of colors in kiln-formed glass, the meticulous arrangement of mosaics, or the delicate strokes of traditional glass painting, each technique I employ is a testament to my dedication to this ancient medium. Through every piece, I aim to evoke joy, wonder, and a renewed appreciation for the artistry of glass.
