home springs eternal	welcome home
	the technique i use is reverse painting on glass. i had seen reverse painting while i was growing up and was captivated by its depth and radiance. when i finally started painting, i decided to teach myself to reverse
paint on glass instead of learning to paint the "normal" way. although i can also paint the traditional way, in acrylics or watercolors, i prefer the crisp, clean brilliance that comes from painting on glass. i use dangerous techniques, employing shards of glass, razor blades, ice picks, scalpels, and even fire to build textures.

i have been working with glass for fifteen years, with artworks in collections worldwide. my paintings can be translucent, similar to stained glass, but with much more detail and with more flexibility in the subject matter. my work can also be totally opaque, framed to hang on your wall. get an original work of glass.
add the vibrance of reverse painted glass to your home or office today.


snow galaxy	time to reflect	waves green nebula


glass paintings offer a luminance that is quite rare. the paintings themselves are quite vivid and lustrous, and that radiance translates remarkably well into the limited edition prints, posters, bookmarks and cards that we have produced from them. my paintings, plus a line of lithographs, notecards, bookmarks and posters are available by contacting me, or through novaspace galleries.	whisper of a breeze
