Artist Statement:

“I consider the environment and social politics when imagining my installations. Using ancient techniques to capture impressions of the world within molten glass. These forms are then arranged into immersive experiences meant to provoke thought and positive action.   

The proclivity towards creating art with glass began after traveling to Mexico with my Aztec Grandfather. Learning about my ancestry embedded a deep respect for ancient mysticism and its relationship to the earth’s elements.  

Concepts purified, matured, and perfected into a physical existence using the elemental forces:  earth, wood, metal, water, air and fire.​  The process is a meditation for me and I work to create concepts that reflect that reality”
