About me.....

I am a versatile artisan, using media such as glass, paint and pottery. I spent 30 years working with individuals with disabilities and during those years I self-taught myself the art of fused glass, to enable me to teach individuals with disabilities the same.  After my retirement from social services, I created Livin' the Dream Designs to fulfill my lifetime dream of being a full-time artisan. My work is currently featured at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington and the Clay and Glass Gallery in Waterloo.

The designs I create are both whimsical and classic. I pull from my hobby of birdwatching and the many facets of nature, flowers, trees and animals.  My glass is unlike other glass artisans that I have seen at other events and shows and online. I have always strived to provide a unique product that is not in competition with other artisans.

​

I have been called a “rogue” glass artist – defined as behaving in ways that are not expected or not normal…… I am proud of that as I am never afraid to try something new in the world of glass.
