I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I have been a glass artist for many years and was trained from the ground up--every technique and trick in the book on traditional Tiffany (foil) style, and leaded glass work.
After working for other companies and building hundreds of projects, I somehow managed to buy a little home in Ferndale and tore apart the basement and erected a workshop to make my own custom things!
My idea for GLASS ACTION! is a simple one. I'm a sucker for Pop Art and portraiture and love to incorporate it into my work. I also do traditional pieces and full Stained Glass Repairs. I love the challenge of taking direction from a clients idea of what they want, and making something better than what they had expected!
Myspace is a great way to network and I hope you add GLASS ACTION! as a friend so I can promote art shows and events i'm participating in! As my new Online Portfolio grows, i'll be sure to update my picture page.
Please contact me here or at [email protected] for commissions, referals, ideas or suggestions/requests.
Thanks so much for the support!
