Many clients come with an idea or image close to their heart, and together we shape it into a piece that reflects their individuality. The process is about partnership, ensuring that when the lamp is finished, the response is:-That’s exactly what I had in mind.

    Prismatic Powders

    This lamp celebrates my most essential supplier, Precision Powders (PP).  Their products, fusion-bond powder coating, happen to be foundational to what I create. Instead of liquid paint, these dry powders glaze under heat. PP offers a huge variety of colors and finishes. Without first creating and perfecting my own techniques for applying powder material onto glass, I could not create any of my lamps and the projections they display.

    Here, I composed twigs of ginkgo leaves encircling the lamp. This arrangement enabled me to display a small selection of PP colors. There are nine separate powder colors displayed. Also, on several leave, there’s a topping gloss layer.

    Anje Rozan – We Are All Connected

    The winner of the 2022 Lion’s Club International Peace Poster Contest was thirteen-year-old Anje Rozan of Slovenia. Her poster is titled, “We Are All Connected.”  I created this lamp using the imagery of her poster as an expression of my gratitude to Anje for her uplifting painting. Her imagery has a powerful impact on people. This lamp is my gift to Anje.

    In Anje’s words: “Humans are woven together; if someone gives up, others fall.”

He was treated at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. This lamp is a memorial commissioned by a close friend of Jaxson’s mother, Carisa Rand. This lamp is now displayed at the Naturalist Gallery, Washington, D.C.

    Cats

    Our dog walker came to be a friend. As a frequent visitor, my work drew her interest. After an exchange of service, creating a lamp that she conceived seemed the best way to express my gratitude. More than dogs, she loves cats. Frolicking under wisteria was her idea of a perfect setting.

    The Tiger

    When I first began using powder materials as a creative art medium, Ismael stepped into a critical role.  Using powder material to make a glaze on glass, required a lot of tool building. And testing. And lots of parts. With Ismael’s Fernandez ‘s critical skills, I moved ahead. I could not create the lamps I’m now offering  without his timely contributions.  He likes cats. Big cats. As an expression of gratitude, I presented The Tiger as a gift for Ismael and his family.
