    Photo by Adam Reese
    Born in 1964 in El Paso, Texas and raised throughout the United States and Europe as an Army brat, I ended my formal education after one year of college. Being exposed to many different cultures and customs throughout my childhood and upbringing, I had a yearning for, and was greatly influenced by art of all mediums. I never quite discovered my niche' until the day I met Master Flameworker Robert Mickelsen. That chance meeting totally changed my life. For over five years, I worked exclusively with Mr. Mickelsen as his Personal Assistant and Studio Manager. Since then, he has become my good friend, teacher and mentor, introducing to me, what would become an utter and absolute obsession with glass. With heartfelt encouragement, and much enthusiasm from my friends and colleagues, I have since created my own company, Moonlight Inspirations. I now sell my own designs, along with collaberative works with other artists, marketing my work exclusively through galleries.

    Your Element Is Fire
    Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame.
    You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out.

    You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable.
    You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go.

    Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive.
    Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many. What's Your Element?
