BACKGROUND
I began a second career in architectural kiln-formed glass art in 2000 after 25 years in new products marketing in Fortune 500 companies. I am the owner of Icings® Glass, LLC, working with interior designers and architects to create custom architectural installations for residential and commercial use. My focus today includes contemporary mixed media baskets and vessels featuring social justice themes.
