Offerings are inspired by the teachings and mudras, spiritual hand gestures, of Buddha. This series of work invites us out of the “I want” culture, into the spiritual healing and peace generated through gratitude and generosity.

Each piece in this series incorporates a hand offering a botanical element in glass. I am employing a variety of materials and methods to make the hands, to date, including casting glass, resin, and plaster, and carving wood.
