My work began with a longing to blow glass, a process that was at first beyond my reach. That limitation led me to polyester and epoxy resin, materials through which I began to explore luminosity, transparency and transformative qualities I was drawn to in glass. Over time, resin ceased to be an alternative and became a language of its own.

I create molds from forms found in nature and reinterpret techniques associated with slumped, crushed and mosaic glass through casting. Leaves, fruits, seed pods, bark, shells, coral and the shifting surfaces of water become vessels for light. I manipulate transparency, texture, and form to create sculptures in which light does not simply illuminate the work, but becomes part of it.

My forms exist somewhere between the botanical and the imagined – gardens that might belong to earth, to water, or to a realm beyond the invisible. I am interested in the moment before something becomes fully known: the threshold between abstraction and recognition, material and spirit, what is seen and what is sensed.

Nature, for me, becomes an echo of an eternal reality made visible through the physical world. My work imagines Heaven on Earth: a place where the visible and the invisible meet, where earthly forms hint at a greater reality.

Transparency is both material and metaphor. By allowing light to pass through and reveal hidden dimensions, the sculptures invite us to look beyond the surface – to see not only what is apparent, but what might exist beyond it.

The work is ultimately an invitation to faith: to look through, beyond and deeper.
