“Melon Droplet” Acquired by Peabody Essex Museum
“Melon Droplet” is now part of the permanent collection at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA. “The gift of the Pforzheimer Collection of Studio Glass, which was announced today, includes over 200 works of international studio glass as well as about 40 pieces of historic European and American glass. It greatly expands PEM’s holdings of studio glass and joins an already robust assemblage of historic American glass at the museum. ”
Many thanks to Carl and Betty Pforzheimer for their support of the glass community and this generous gift!

Urban Glass Hot Sheet Interview
Detail of “Mesmer’s Tear”
“It is exciting to have a show in San Francisco, I haven’t been to the city in a number of years and it is great to visit and see what the art scene is like here. Montague has a gorgeous showroom with great visibility from the street. During the pandemic we really missed out on seeing art in person…I make sculpture and there is really nothing like seeing something physically, being able to walk around it and experience how light interacts with the work….”

“The Clown In Me Loves You” Now On View!
Thrilled to say that my collaborative exhibition with Katherine Gray, “The Clown In Me Loves You”, is open at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA)! Five years in the making, we are so happy to unveil this project and get you thinking about the archetype of the clown and glass art in a fresh way. Kathy and I collaborated on every aspect of the work in this show, from designing the patterned panels and sculptures to the titles to the show design.
There will be a 48-page catalogue available in August, with essay by William Warmus and introduction by Greg Robinson and Amy Sawyer, co-curators.
