My work with glass has always been influenced by a love of the process and the material itself. From the optical qualities to color transparency to versatility of form, glass is a material unlike any other. Whether I’m working in realism or abstract, each sculpture is an ode to my home, Hawai’i, and the beauty of the world around us. I strive to replicate colors from the sky and the optical illusions of water, leaving the viewer with the same feeling you get from experiencing these phenomena first hand.

Her love of nature, science and design has inspired her work; whether it’s a study of the optics of glass or making lifelike sculptures of animals and plants.
