About

I was a great ape keeper for over 30 years. I started doing stain glass mosaics as something different. I have always loved doing something artistic. I would donate my pieces to fundraisers for animals. Such as The Center for Great Apes in Florida. Now that I am retired, I am working on my artwork more and would like to do more art shows. I use a mixed media and try to use recycled material as often as I can. I have a friend that I get stain glass from when it is too small for her to use. I have found frames on the side of the road that I pick up. My pieces are one of a kind. No two are exactly the same.

Artist Statement

My work varies from abstract to more structured pieces. It depends on who I am making the piece for. I start with picking a size and frame. Then a color scheme. Sometimes I know how I want it to look, other times I let it come to me as I lay down the pieces.
