After many years of creating beautiful works of art from glass, I have now embarked on totally new and innovative methods for combining glass with stone in the conception of sculptures and engravings.

As an observant admirer of nature, I am fascinated by the works of art nature presents to us: stones, avalanches, rivers, creeks, and canyons. In particular, rocks arising from iced-up waters inspired me to combine glass and stone.

The result is a selection of fine art images of wildlife and nature, relating to my years of living in a magnificent environment, my respect for nature, and my love of art. My unique combination with stones, some as much as 600 million years old, has been developed to create beautiful, lasting, and valuable works of art.

My basic concept is that art must be beautiful - enjoyable for the eye, for the hand, and for the soul. My sculptures must be touched for full realization of their tactile appeal, evoking sensuous and almost erotic feelings.

In addition, I am creating a wide selection of miniatures and exclusive jewelry in combinations of gemstone with glass engravings. The attractiveness of these new designs is everlasting.
