I’ve been working with glass as an artistic medium since 2007 and, as the name “Zapico Glass” may have hinted, its a medium that holds great importance for me. Learning the process over these last 15+ years has allowed me to really appreciate the process as well as understand the material and it’s creative potential as a medium. However, I have also found that the conceptual limitations of glassblowing to be frustrating at times. In order to push beyond these boundaries, I have turned to my lifelong passion for drawing and painting as a source of inspiration.

 My goal with this work is to convey the struggles and triumphs of the modern experience and to prove that glass art can be so much more than mere elements of interior design, more than just decorative or functional objects. It can be a powerful method of communication, story telling, and even a means of predicting the future.

Both paint and glass can be potent forms of expression on their own. By infusing the two together we tap into a new range of bold and exciting aesthetics. When the daring colors of the paint meet the often rigid craft of the glass the viewer is left with a range of striking displays where every angle and surface becomes it’s own piece of art battling for the viewer’s attention.
