Biography

I am a techie turned artist, and primarily a self taught artist. 

Engineering research and art are quite similar disciplines. They require creativity, a high-level vision, a command of implementation details, coalescing a multitude of ideas and requirements into a simple and elegant solution, a dedication to quality and the ability to see the work through to the end. 

I primarily work as a mosaic and fused glass, but have a wide range of other skills that augment this work.

In recent years I've expanded into metal to support larger pieces.  As part of the Flaming Lotus Girls, I spend some of my spare time creating large flaming metal sculptures.
