I am a sculpture glass artist...I am! I work on a small torch designed for glass artists and I work with 6-8 mm glass rods in the greatest colors. I began my adventure in glass in 2005 and though it was a hobby for many years, it is now a wonderful expansion of my love for music, for flowers and for romance. I am the ultimate romantic who was plucked from the days of yesteryear and dropped into a fast moving, over achieving world where art has to work hard to rise to consciousness.
The above piece is a 1901 violin that I found at a 'barn sale'. It is normal size, a little rough around the edges and will never again hear the sound of it's own strings. I have created Old English Roses in several colors of pink glass rods from light pink to dark purple pink. It talks secretly of romance, the Waltz on a summer night when the roses bloom and the jasmine dances in the moonlight. It is these things that make our hearts soar and our belief in possibilities escape the world.
Writing is my inner spirit dancing with the memories of past lives. Like with my glass, I don't plan a story I just write it down as it comes back in my memories. Romance is love bursting quietly and softly through the veil of those memories. Romance is about those dreams we hope for and those who fulfill the dreams. Intertwined in my world are the words, the music and the flower gardens and inspire each day with possibilities.
The Visitor was always written while I was wearing my Ipod with the inspiration of Chris Isaac who does love and pain so beautifully and the Eagles, Bob Seger and other musicians from my early days but mostly I love romantic music without words. It's all a circle as I continue to create art and write the next chapter of The Visitor.
