Artist statement:

I am influenced by the contrast in the Icelandic nature, fire and ice, the beautiful colors of the Northern Lights and the character of the Icelandic people.

In my Jewelry I use Dichroic glass and Bullseye glass because the colors are extremely vibrant and full of life. The joy of opening the kiln for the finished product is however the best part of the process.
