How long have you been doing stained glass?

1-3 years

How did you first get started in stained glass?

My first experience with stained glass was in high school, and I knew that I would eventually get back to working with glass. It took 14 years, but I'm finally back at it and have been working with glass again for the last year or so.

What expectations do you have heading into this contest?

I hope that this contest will help me to develop my vision and to stretch the limits of what I can do with glass. I look forward to seeing what the other contestants do in each round.

What do you feel are your strong/weak points in stained glass?

I'm not completely sure. I would say that my experience level may be a weak point, especially my lack of experience with 3D projects. I hope that my imaginative nature will be a strong point.

What other hobbies do you enjoy?

My other hobbies include reading, creative visualazation, and collecting the stories that make up the lives of the people I meet.

Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about yourself?
