Fused Glass Landscape<\/p><\/div>\n

What art means to me is freedom\u2026freedom to create.<\/p>\n

I particularly enjoy working with glass because of what happens when you open up the kiln and see if it<\/em> worked or not. That anticipation is the fun part, to me.<\/p>\n

My inspiration comes from everywhere! Graffiti on the wall can become an abstract piece. A painting on the wall can inspire a landscape. Sometimes I\u2019ll buy a piece of glass and it\u2019ll sit in my studio for some time, while I process what I\u2019m going to do with it.<\/p>\n

When people see my art, I\u2019d like them to react by just enjoying what they see. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Let them be happy when they see the piece.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have a favorite color or technique\u2014the colors are random, because the glass is so random. Some of it is just gorgeous, such as splatter pieces<\/em>, when you purchase the glass itself.<\/p>\n

\"Joe<\/a>

Abstract Design<\/p><\/div>\n

The themes that appear in my work are landscapes, which I have my own style with. And I like abstracts, because they\u2019re so random. There\u2019s no rhyme or reason with them.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing about creating glass art is the opportunity to make things, to create things that are pleasing to my eye. Some things are beautiful and some are ugly\u2014in the artist\u2019s eye. I think it\u2019s all in the presentation\u2014a nice frame can transform an ugly piece.<\/p>\n

The artists who have influenced my work are Van Gogh, Picasso, and several American painters.<\/p>\n
