MEET THE CONSULTANT

I'm an artist first. That's not a credential I list — it's how I think. I spent years in studios: Penland School of Craft, Pilchuck Glass School, and my own practice developing flexible glass — material you can sew, fold, cut, write on. My work lives at the intersection of art and science: electroplating glass with metals, firing kilns for both glass fusion and ceramics, understanding material chemistry the way engineers do. I've exhibited internationally, from Murano to the Corning Museum of Glass. I won awards. But what shaped me most was working with communities, not just in them.

Through City of Dallas grants and art residencies, I spent years designing participatory art projects in neighborhoods across Dallas — learning what happens when you invite people to co-create rather than just consume. That work taught me something I couldn't learn in a studio: art consultation isn't about hanging work on walls. It's about creating conditions for transformation.

Credentials & Recognition

Now I consult because I'm still after that. When a corporation wants to strengthen its culture. When a hospitality brand wants guests to feel something true. When a collector wants their acquisitions to mean something beyond the wall. I bring both sides to the table: the artist's eye for what's real, and the strategist's understanding of what creates lasting impact.

Recognition includes the Arch and Anne Giles Kimbrough Fund from the Dallas Museum of Art, selection for New Glass Review 39 by the Corning Museum of Glass, Third Place at the Glass Art Society International Exhibition in Murano, Italy, and exhibitions at the Toyama Glass Art Museum in Japan. I hold a BFA from the University of Texas at Arlington and am a certified art educator (TexES Art EC–12) — the same structured, strategic thinking I bring to every consulting engagement.

Selected Works

Curated pieces from our contemporary art portfolio

Spring Gallery Night Juried Exhibit — Jurored by William Campbell. Blown Glass, Magnets, Gold Leaf, Human interaction. 2018. Attraction was created from the magnets longing to come back together if their distance was close enough. I decided to glue one down and place the other far enough to not effect the magnet unless the viewer decided to enact a turning force on the handle on top. The history of the magnet moving through the reliquary is exemplified by the marks created as it scraped the gilded gold of the glass base inside revealing the mechanics below it.
