All beautiful things belong to the same age --- Oscar Wilde

About Me

A glass artist of indeterminate age and origin, currently residing in the San Francisco area. Some previous ports of call: New York, Washington DC, London, Seoul, Honolulu. My favorite journey is the next one --- sometimes because it brings me back to the familiar in the most unsuspected places
