About Me

I'm easily entertained (mostly by myself, I think I am hysterical). I'm also easily distracted as anyone who checks my page daily can see. I am a glass artist. I have a business in the Adirondacks called Lokifire Studios and a serious pyro addiction. (It's really all about HOW you channel your major neurological issues :) I love to sing the blues, or whatever really, I just love to sing. Hopefully by the end of this year I'll feel comfortable calling myself a guitarist as well. It's impossible for me to imagine a world without fire, drums, and dance and I find it hard to believe I don't have more of those things in my life everyday. But, that's my quest, to fill each day with things that make my heart feel like howling at the moon. I really want to meet some MORE GLASSBLOWERS!!! I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE YOU CAVE DWELLERS!! Along the same lines, anyone interested in a glassblowing apprenticeship or lessons feel free to reach out, I can always use an extra hand in the studio. Keep in mind, this is not something you learn in a day and it is not without its risks. I also want to play some music and I welcome any musicians to contact me. Or just tell me about your favorite music, I'm a sponge, I can't get enough. I don't care what it is, there's a lotta great music out there!
