Studio Profile


My studio is nestled in a large aspen grove near Butler Creek about ten miles from Missoula. Our neighbors include magpies, hummingbirds, red tail hawks, sapsuckers, chickadees, turkeys, ducks, and a Great Blue Herron. We have seasonal visits from black bears, fox, deer, and ermine. In early spring, a herd of elk saunters by grazing its’ way across the hills behind our house. Bitterroots flower on the ridge above. The surrounding hillsides in this drainage carry small ridges, which resemble a stairway carved into the earth. These are the remains of the ancient Lake Missoula’s shoreline, created when the glaciers blocked the tributaries to the Columbia River.

For over 16 years this studio has created custom designed sandblasted art on glass. Here the artist and craftsman design and create exquisitely unique works for residences, restaurants, hotels, theatres, churches, commercial applications, and private collectors. The projects range from small, medium, and large windows, to doors and entryways, to interior walls.

From conceptual drawings to completed project, each step of the process is completed by hand with a focused attention on quality and detail. They are signature design pieces for the discriminating client. Each project is one of a kind to compliment the architecture and enhance the ambiance of the surrounding area. A beautiful etched glass entryway welcomes the visitor and makes a statement about the uniqueness of the home/business and its owner. It increases the value of the installation site. It’s the first and the last thing a prospective customer or a visitor sees, making it more memorable.
