About Jezebel

I thrive on creating large scale pieces that bring both art and nature into our everyday lives. My works are often functional as well as beautiful, just like nature. Fine art glass transmits colored light, which I am drawn to for its spiritual and healing qualities. I love to juxtapose glass with hand forged-metal for the strength, structure and malleability it lends.

I hold a patent for my unique glass shaping technique. I developed a process to shape Tiffany-style fine art glass, which previously had been thought of as too finicky to kiln fire. A wonderful by-product of kiln-firing this glass is the way the color deepens and evolves during firing. The shapes I form with this glass have become the basis of my Signature line of art lighting, as well as numerous custom designs for public and private commissions.
