Job role:Artist
Skills:I am glass maker and have practiced glass work such as engraving, flameworking, furnace work since 2012. I love mixed media sculptures and work with many mediums!
The creativity of young minds is a driving inspiration for my work. I enjoy re-contextualizing children's artwork through in-depth collaboration with my craft work. Mixed media elements allow me to fully describe the emotion of a piece and reiterate unconventional characteristics of children's designs.

Here are some shots of Eric and I discussing the project. He created the shark predator design in record speed!
Next I use a Peobo low fire marker to draw on robotic and facial expressions!
