Beautiful People, 2009

Beautiful People, 2009
This piece was made with the idea of people’s different qualities enhancing their individual beauty, along with the beauty of human interaction. If you travel from left to right through the piece, colors are grouped together, creating profiles of figure heads; these figures facing and looking different ways to interact and intertwine with each other.
Inspired by a friend who loves and appreciates all types of beauty.

Midnight Run in the City, 2009

Midnight Run in the City, 2009
This piece is made up of three different types of mirror: regular and cracked mirror, water mirror, and crackled mirror glass. The idea behind it is to take your eye from the top left corner and run through the piece, and as a runner glance back and see a faint city sky line blurred and sparkling.

Blue Eyed Boy & Hello Gorgeous

Blue Eyed Boy, 2009 & Hello Gorgeous, 2009
These two pieces were designed together, but made to stand alone as well.

Blue Eyed Boy, 2009
Blue Eyed Boy was made with the idea of a male profile picture. The abstract eye pops as he looks out through the blue mirror glass. You can follow the silver down and around as it frames the side of his face and neck. [Stained glass grouted on wood, 24in. x 24 in.]
Hello Gorgeous, 2009
Oh, hello! To complete the diptych, Hello Gorgeous starts on the left with fiery, flowing locks across one side of her abstract face. The orange glass pops for concentration as she stares out… Her eyelashes lead to the side of her face as it curves down and around her Venus neck. [Stained glass grouted on wood, 24in. x 24 in.]
