I have been working in glass since I was the age of 23. Stained glass was a hobby for many years and I sold my products @ small local shows. In the early 90's I had a job injury the left me with back injuries and could not work in a regular job anymore and decided to work in my craft. I opened shop in downtown Olympia selling my artwork and other gifts for 5 years. I then went into wholesale and sold my art pieces to galleries and gift shops throughout the U S & Alaska. I joined the market in 2001 and it has been the best job I have ever taken on. I am very grateful to have made a living @ my artwork as not many are able to do that in their lifetime. The Olympia Farmers Market is the best!
