I was raised on a farm near Birtle, Manitoba. Those rural roots continue to provide inspiration for my designs.

After teaching French and art and working at Prairie Stained Glass, I have spent more than thirty years working full- time in my art glass business called Glass Act. I remain intrigued by how this relatively flat material can be cut and soldered to form three-dimensional objects.

I am well known for my lampshades and window hangings. I also do commissioned work.
