    I was born and raised in California, in 1991 after visiting Hawaii and falling in love with its beauty it became my home. I began my career in glass with Maui Crystal in 2000. Continuing to grow as an artist I expanded my knowledge by attending Sundance Art Center in Santa Cruz, California (December 2002). Wanting to learn traditional concepts of glass. I spent one month in Murano, Italy ( November 2005) studying under Cesare Toffolo. Since then I have had the oportunity to take workshops from Robert Mickelsen, Janis Miltenberger and Richard LaLonde.I In 2006 I relocated to Kingston Washington hoping that the Northwest will provide as much influence for me as Hawaii did. My work is constantly changing and evolving, but I still draw my biggest influence from the Islands and Ocean that surrounded me for so long.

Jen, I just wanted to say Hi and let you know how amazing I think your work is. From composition to execution. I like how your subject is in focus and the surroundings are full of detail but softer. Cheers!

Thanks so much for noticing. Movement is what I love...even more than sealife. I love the challenge to keep it all going. Thank you for seeing that.

Thanks! and thanks for tellng me about the forum. I liked the squids too but they were the least noticed at the show. They were hard to cause they were so thick and I had to attach 10 little legs on there. I think I should have done the giant squid. 8 legs and 2 longer legs/grabbers (I don't know what they are called)
