Glass is my language—fluid, luminous, and full of possibility. Through kiln-formed techniques, I explore the interplay of light, color, and structure to create sculptural vessels, panels, and wall pieces that reflect both the natural world and inner landscapes.

My work explores the dynamic interplay between color, form, and light. My pieces often evoke the natural world—its rhythms, textures, and quiet transformations. Whether interpreting the hues of a winter sunset in layered glass or imagining a moonrise over aspens in winter, I aim to create works that stir memory, emotion, and wonder.

Each piece begins with the deliberate composition of color and texture—hand-cut glass, stringers, frit, and dichroic elements—layered into
a design that may hint at botanical forms, shifting skies, or geological patterns. Once fired in the kiln, the work undergoes a metamorphosis.
What emerges is often unexpected: a surface made richer by subtle fractures, softened edges, or unexpected hues born of heat and time. I see
this unpredictability as collaboration with the material—a surrender to beauty beyond control.

Whether I’m interpreting a coral reef, a winter sky, or a blooming flower, I aim to capture something ephemeral—light passing through color, emotion made tangible—and give it lasting form in glass.

Born in Israel and now based in Maryland, I have exhibited my work in galleries across the U.S. and my pieces are held in private collections
nationwide.
