Late summer brings the thrill of “Art in the Orchard”, a local sculpture and performance venue…in a working orchard!

A multicultural celebration of art, travel & love. My client, Tanja, is a painter, and her husband is an engineer. They live on the water near the harbor town of Enkhuizen in North Holland, The Netherlands, and they recently built a new home in Amsterdam.

Jerry and Gwen approached me at a high-end craft show, inspired by a specific table in my display. They excitedly told me about their recent trip to Italy. “Oval Lotus” reminded them of Michelangelo’s design for the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome. They e-mailed me the image; a conversation and site-visit followed and led to the creation of a stunning kitchen table in silver and gold iridescent glass with transparent bronze windows.

A local bank commissioned me to create a centerpiece for their new building. They believed in my vision and trusted my process of letting the work of art unfold.

A custom-made glass art piece (or two!) can make all the difference in transforming an attractive space into a truly beautiful, intimate one. My client had renovated a 1950’s beach house in New London, Connecticut, into her dream home, with a considerable amount of custom work throughout.
