Tell us...

A little about yourself (i.e. what town you live in, where you grew up, family members, pets, occupation, etc…)? I grew up in NW Indiana (Munster) and moved to Indianapolis in 1980. I now live in Zionsville with my 2 sons, Eric (22-graduating from IU in May) and Scott (20-a Sophomore at IU), and two dogs Roxanne & Guinness. I've been a Registered Dental Hygienist for 27 years, but dream of being a full time Artist/Instructor. Give me 10 years, and check back in with me!

What are your hobbies besides glass? I love to work outside in the yard, take long walks with my dogs, travel and read. (not necessarily in that order)

How you got into glass? I started with Stained Glass 25 years ago and that led to dabbling in mosaics, fusing and finally Lampworking.

Favorite glass quote or saying and why? Practice, practice, practice....because it's so true !!

What you love about glass? I love the unpredictability of the reactions and the movement. I love that no matter how hard you try there is absolutely no way to get the exact same result. They might be similiar, but not the same.

Where you sell your glass? I sell beads on EBay occasionally, and jewelry on my Website and at local Art Shows.
