In the new issue of Glass Line magazine (October/November 2009, Volume 23, Number 3), I have written an article, “Starting Out as a Glass Artist”.  My article is about my experiences and advice to newer artists starting out.  I outline the steps I took as a new artist, and still take today, to gain acceptance into art galleries. 

In this same issue, artist Paul Stankard wrote about “Developing a Personal Voice in Glass”, with his recommendations for developing beyond interesting glass techniques.  Paul Stankard is one of my idols.  He is the premier glass paperweight maker in the world today.  His works integrate mysticism with botanical realism, with strikingly beautiful botanical sculptures encased in clear glass.
