Helen’s work is featured in some of the finest contemporary American glass galleries, including the Philabaum Gallery and the Denver Art Museum gallery. Her commissions include structural glass panels and glass furniture from clients in the US, Europe, South America and Australia. She was recently honored with a commission by the board of directors of the Denver Art Museum to create glass tributes honoring the museum’s most significant benefactors.
Helen focuses on kiln fused glass. The glass designs are constructed piece by piece and then melted in a kiln to 1460F and above where it becomes liquid. After cooling and annealing a solid piece of glass has been made. The glass is often fired a second or third time to create 3D shapes. Sometimes the glass is layered like a cheese sandwich and melted together. Other times thin strips of glass are placed on edge like dominoes and fired together. Both techniques enable her to create strong bold designs and distinctive color placement.
