I am please to announced that I have been invited to create a wall mounted glass scuplture for the new Salt Lake City Airport in the Delta Sky Lounge. I am thrilled to be able to contribute with many other artists. More information to follow.

These are the best serendipitous parts to life.

Here is the story. 

I just reconnected with a longtime friend from over 20 years ago. She and I have always had amazing brainstorming conversations. She reached out to me to come pick up a glass crate that my glass shipments come in. 

I asked what she was going to use it for? 

She said that she has been working with “youth in foster care age out of the system, get a job and get their first apartment - they usually have close to nothing to furnish it with - I felt like that would be so hard to work and come home to an empty home and feel like you were succeeding. They have no family to help them. I am lucky enough to get to furnish their apartment. So - I refurbish furniture etc for their apartments. I will probably use the boards off the crate for a table top or something.”

This is close to my heart I did not have much when I made it out of high school and also helped pay for my Mom’s mortgage payment while in high school. 

I would like to assist Jan by giving my passion of art back to the community. As well my belief that art is for everyone. 

How I would like to accomplish this is to get funding for frames for my art. I have many works that did not make the cut, still beautiful and need a home. Once framed these pieces can add to welcoming home these young persons who greatly need it. 
Until I am able to get a grant to fund this project, donations are also welcome. You will receive 5% off of my shop when you donate.

I am not going to lie I was very discouraged by all the festivals having to cancle this year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. My heart ached not being able to participate in these events.
