Loving the brilliant colors of stained glass art I became intrigued with fused glass art in 2006 when a friend brought me several pieces she made in Minnesota. In 2007 I began fused glass classes with Bud Spindt at the Honolulu Museum of Art School (Linekona). I now work at home and fire at Hickam AFB Arts and Crafts Center (ACC) .

I have shown and sold work at:
The Gallery at Ward Center
Kailua’s Island Treasures
The Honolulu Museum of Art School Annual Studio Sales
Under a Hula Moon
Waimanalo Community Coop
The Windward Artists’ Guild 2016 Show at Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden
The Association of Hawaii Artists Miniatures Show at Ho’omaluhia (where I
received an Honorable Mention Award in 2016)
Windward Community College’s Iolani Gallery
I had six pieces in the Gallery Show at the Hickam ACC through October, 2020

In addition to lamps and dishes, I make standing and window-hung glass art and glass pendant earrings.
