I’ve been busy over the past month preparing for a couple of events that are somewhat related in that they involve my window neon. Most recently was getting ready for an art show at Space 1026 in Philadelphia. They are a gallery with a focus on screenprinting but have rotating art shows every month. “Round A Bout” is a show Read more…
I recently finished up this small grouping of neon pieces, which I am calling Neon Moonflowers. They are a combination of neon tubing and vintage light shades. The first one of these I ever made was back in 2018. I really loved the look of these and intended on making a series of them, so over the past several years, Read more…
I’m part of an artist group called the Philadelphia Dumpster Divers. I’ve only been a member for about 4 years, but the group was started 30 years ago.

This is uncoated noviol gold filled with argon and a little bit of neon. It’s a nice color but not quite what I am going for so I’m going to replace the electrodes and re-process it and put a little more neon in the mix this time. 🌀Stay tuned…..
Oh yeah! Back on this blog here, after about an 8-month pause. I was reminded of the importance of posting here after yesterday’s Instagram outage….I can’t put all my eggs in one basket so I’m back on here trying to create interest in my artwork via my website blog.

I am really excited to announce that my work is a part of Light In Transmission (LIT): A Neon and Plasma Light Exhibition, at Pittsburgh Glass Center. The exhibition was curated by Percy Echols, who says “As an artist, I chose those who had impacted my creative process, education, and expanded my world view on the nearly unlimited potential of Read more…
This is my first post of 2021. Joe Biden was sworn in as President yesterday and I’m feeling optimistic about the future for the first time in a while. The days are getting longer and spring is only a couple of months away. Here’s to more love and less angst in the days to come.
