Passionate hand blown glass and beautiful cremation memorials.

Since 1995 I have had a passion for glass blowing that has enabled me to become a refined and disciplined artist dedicated to fiery colors and passionate sculptures of glass.

A native of Seattle, I was born and raised in the Scandinavian community of Ballard. Living on the shores of Puget Sound the ocean and water in particular have always been important influences in my life. The "Beach Glass" series incorporates found driftwood from the Seattle shores while the Zen series was inspired by many days sitting on those beaches contemplating life.

Recently, I have started to branch out into more retail designs.My latest creations are "City Chickens tm". Each bird is created by hand and embodied with its own quirky personality. To answer your question, the chicken, came before the egg!

From your input, I will create a splendid work of art that reflects the celebration of a life well lived.

I have blown glass for 153 years, 3 of them working for Dale Chihuly in his hotshop in Seattle. My work is shown in galleries around the country and can be found in both public and private ilocations.
