About Gecko Glass

I began fusing glass after working as an architect in the Pacific Northwest for nearly 30 years.  In 2006 I retired and emigrated to Costa Rica where I opened Gecko Glass.

I am constantly inspired anew by life here in the tropics, pulling motifs from this strange environment.  I explore themes of exotic flowers and reef  fish.  I’ve learned to celebrate the omnipresent  insects.  Yet, I believe all my work is drawn from my architectural experience and perspective, especially in the use of color.

I continue to explore the medium of glass fusing, constantly finding new ways to use the material.  For many reasons, not the least of which is that where I live in Costa Rica it’s difficult to get my hands on good materials, I am especially interested in using recycled glass.
