What about the glass blowing process brings you joy?
Working with glass has allowed me true freedom. The ability to start something from an idea, work through prototyping, and see it through every stage until completion satisfies every urge as a creator. Having worked with different mediums in the past, glass is one of the most humbling imaginable. It has taught me patience and so much about myself.

Who inspires you as an artist?
Meeting Clinton Roman was definitely pivotal. I was originally a collector and traveled to meet Clinton from Canada to purchase a grail piece of mine. Hearing him talk about his creative process was truly eye-opening. Even though our works are nothing alike, Clinton has a determination to see his vision through that I had never seen. Regardless of processes, techniques or time involved, it showed me that its ok to be determined and to have integrity with your own vision.

What’s your favorite Puffco product at the moment?
The Peak Pro. I like to dab, but I also like to be active and live my life away from my quartz at home. The Peak Pro has made that possible and is always with me when I'm out and about.
