For the last several years she has been mesmerized by the alchemy of kiln-form glass created in her SOMA Artists Studio. Using her landscapes photos as models and inspiration, she stacks layers of different shape, sizes and opacities of compatible glass and fires to temperatures from 1200-1500 in a kiln to achieve depth and textures.
She has had several solo shows and many group shows in the San Francisco Bay Area from 2002 -present.
