I am 30 yr. old young man with developmental disabilities. I became interested in Fused Glass in 2008 and studied with a Glass Artist for two years. I now work at home in my own studio with the assistance of my job coach.
My artwork is very unique. I am visually impaired and I create many pieces that are tactile. I love colors and shapes, but I cannot perceive the details of my designs. I enjoy listening to music to help create the mood for my work. My coach and my mom support me in the processes that I can not physically do--cutting the glass, using the kiln, etc.
My business is non-profit and resources from selling my artwork are used to buy more materials and a percent is saved to be able to give scholarships to other persons with developmental disabilities so they can take lessons in one of the Creative Arts and discover something they love to do.
