About me
I am a stained glass multi media artist. If I can put it in my art, it goes, fused, blown, flamework, no matter what. I have been doing this for 3 years and apprenticed under a master artist for part of the time, who had over 20yrs of experience.

I started out with an interest in blowing glass, everyone wants to blow glass and no one is trying to really change stained glass. I want to do that, break it out of its shell, its mold that its stuck in and let it fly. To me that is what art is all about doing things that no one else is doing and changing a medium in a way no one has changed it before.
interestsart, photography, reading(difficult yet), animals,webdesign, Design.
favorite musicPixies, Dandy Warhols, Queens of the stoneage, U2(earlystuff), Alice Cooper, Zepplin, mostly punk and newwave music, but classic rock also, Knarles Barkley before anyone knew who he was, Joshua Bartholomew, while he is still new.."Dont go away" and "As long as it takes" are hits that not a lot of people know about yet!!! yet the key word!!
favorite tv showsPBS, Law and order(the man I most adored turned me on to it),NOW, Charilie Rose, McGlaughlin Report, American Experience, Daily show with Jon Stewart(the real news)..
favorite moviesIndependent films, Foreign, Documentaries, I do not like hollywood big budget stuff, they suck. />Best Hollywoods: Gone with the wind!!!! Sargent York, Mr. Smith goes to Washington, others you will have to ask....
favorite gamesNot with other peoples heads, not a fun game to play. Hand Grenedes would be far kinder, trust me!! /> />Life is what you make of it, sometimes I can take lemon's and make lemonade, or just squirt them in my eye and make a funny face, it just depends on the day. Someday's Im "Penny Positive"(most days" ) then others I lose my wallet again (Due to the head injury) and I just cancel the credit cards again, cry and lose hope, then I find my wallet in a stupid place in the house. Life in the TBI lane, but I'm lucky, more lucky than most. /> />What's hard is the eye opening things I'm learning as I go along all the time. You learn everyday, something new and it's not always a good thing, but you store it up so you don't make that mistake again. That is what history is about, those who forget history tend to make those mistakes again. It's what I loved so much before the accidnet and still do. /> />Games, everyone plays them it seems. It hurts when you have an honest heart and people take advantage of your lack of memory. Sadly, I long for that impecable memory of old, that could quote conversations verbatum. I am working on it, I may not get there, but I will persist. Who knows how far I may get.......or, well we will leave that open.
favorite booksPillars of the earth-great book read it. Crime and punishment, Great Expectations, Love in the time of Cholera(try it you may like it for a love story). Im odd, very off, Ohh, In cold blood before anyone really knew what it was and our school actually carried it. They may have thought me a freak to check it out, but they thought I was a freak anyway. /> />Now simple reading is a difficult task, I hope someday to be able to have the ability to read as I did before.
