I started out making panel lamps because they were easy, fun and useful.

These hanging lamps, made for Pauline, are simple glass panels with copperfoil overlays that are soldered to the edges. This gives it a 'relief'/textured effect. Tiny details can be shown that would be swallowed up with the other traditional method of copperfoil or lead technique.

This is a 6-panel lamp made for Jack Sattell. He is 'into' snakes and lizards, so each panel is a different critter. I tried to make the lamp 'touchable' with different textures of glass.

This 6-panel lamp was made for Sophie Berkman. She loved the idea of fairies and magical beings. There are 3 different fairies connected with flowers. Again this lamp was made textured glass and the wings are 3-D.

Well, Jack and Sophie's parents didn't want to NOT have a lamp, so I made this mosaic lamp for them. It was an experiment in mosaics...
