Many years ago I had an opportunity to learn how to make stained glass. It was much easier than I ever imagined. I love working with . I like how light transforms the glass. Like life, the glass is simultaneously strong and fragile. I really enjoy this art form and started to sell many of the pieces that I created. I made small pieces, mirrors and windows for homes.

Starting in the summer of 1988, I began to make a series of stained glass pieces for self expression and healing after a loss. The pieces that were created were mandalas. In the summer of 1988, while I was camping in the redwoods in Big Sur, I created this logo. I had never put into art my feelings about music. Music had been a significant part of my life since I was very young. I had started playing clarinet at age 9 and added piano, oboe, guitar and flute. I decided at a young age to have a career in music. In 1982, I began my work in music therapy. I believe that music comes from the heart and is connected to and part of nature. The logo is music notes (no particular song) that comes from the heart and is surrounded by and part of nature. The green is for the mountains, the blue for the water, The white for the clouds because everyday is not a perfectly sunny day, the sun for the sunset over the pacific ocean, the red heart for the human heart where music and emotion come from. The notes and the staff are soldered onto the glass.

I do accept commissions for stained glass.
