Artistic Statement

Stained Glass is my medium to express divinity, creation and that which is sacred, by whatever name you choose. As a very young child, sitting silently in Church hearing a language I could not speak nor understand, it was the stained glass, casting God rays of light onto the walls and across the floor, that spoke to me so deeply, that now years later, I am still unraveling those whispered mysteries.  Carrying this illumination into everything that I do, from simplest stained glass window panels to the full expanse of changing and charging an environment with beauty, reverence and the possibility of transformation, it is my wish to create stained glass beyond expectation.

Biography

Toronto born, to recently arrived immigrant parents, I grew up in two worlds: the European - old world - ancestry rich in cultural textures and language, and as the first born in a dynamic new, but foreign country, had to find a way to bridge what was, with what was becoming. As a young child, it was while attending church, resplendent with stained glass that captivated my heart. Under my own initiative, I took my first stained glass course while still in high school and then spent the next 17 years working in the medium. Like many lives, mine took a detour in the early 1990's, however, never leaving glass entirely, I took on the rigours of becoming a health professional, in massage therapy. It wasn’t until I moved to Seguin township in 2002, did my desire to formally open my own studio resurface and become a reality.
