The Glass Realm

Glass Art Designer

Kiln-formed glass is glass that is formed (shaped) in a kiln by fusing, slumping, draping, casting, etc.. I work with sheets and rods of glass , crushed and powdered glass and glass paints. After deciding on my project, I cut the glass and arrange the pieces into my design, then it's off to the kiln. Some pieces require multiple firings, up to 1600 degrees. Most pieces aren't complete without a bit of cold-working, using grinders, saws, sandblasters, etc, to get that finished look.

Bandanery

Dog bandanas! (Custom, embroidered dog bandanas)

I make custom dog bandanas so dogs can CELEBRATE EVERYTHING! I made bandanas for my dog, Cliff, on Instagram (@cliffgsd), and people were asking where I got them, so I found an opportunity to help dog lovers and their dogs celebrate life events together.

In terms of process, I buy fabric, cut it into bandanas, serge (hem) up the edges so they don't fray, and then they're ready to get customized! I hand-letter dog's names—or milestones (I recently helped celebrate a dog client's 15th birthday!)—and format them for my embroidery machine. From there, a dog bandana is created. I work with customers to get the colors, names/milestones, and sizes to help their dogs celebrate everything!

Sassy Centaur

Gender Neutral Bathroom Signs

I am a Creative Technologist specializing in 3D printing both plastic and clay. I purchased my first 3D printer in 2015, and was quickly bitten by the 3D printing bug. I started modeling my own creations in TinkerCad, which I still use to make designs for my Etsy shop. I am currently improving my skills in Fusion 360 and OpenSCAD, and I use Meshmixer to help me sculpt, hollow my prints, and reduce the triangle counts on my models. I have completed work for a biomedical imaging company designing and fabricating a nonmetallic holder for one of their scanning instruments from carbon-fiber PETG. The part that I designed, printed, and delivered will help the company calibrate and complete reference scans with MRI-type machines.

I transfer personal travel photos onto various substrates and add texture with oils

My art celebrates the movement and moments in travel. Appreciating life with open eyes and taking in the sameness and difference in the world changes the traveler. While traveling over 8 years as a volunteer around the world I took photos of everything. I now use those photos as either inspiration or transfers in my pieces. I love texture in art and try to implement either literally or with as a feeling in my work.

I’m from Southern California. I earned a BA & MA in Speech Communication with Minors in Literature, Women’s Studies, and Italian Medieval Studies from UTK.
