“Lady in LA” is the most intricate portrait in my glass series to date. Every freckle has been individually placed, each curl of hair hand-bent into form, and every tiny stitch on her cap carefully cut and set. The camouflage LA baseball cap is hand-painted, making this work not only a portrait but also a celebration of culture and craftsmanship.

Crafted entirely from glass and recycled scraps, this one-of-a-kind piece blends precision with creativity, offering a striking balance of boldness and detail. A true statement work for collectors, Lady in LA embodies transformation, individuality, and the spirit of Los Angeles.

Dimensions: approx 6” x 8”
Materials: Glass, recycled scrap glass, fused and shaped
Care Instructions: Gently wipe with a soft cloth. Handle with care due to the nature of the material.

For me, this series is about the connection between fashion and self-expression. What we choose to wear, especially something as bold and symbolic as sunglasses, often says as much about us as what we hide. Each pair feels like a clue: playful, confident, ironic, sleek, eccentric. You don’t see the literal person, yet you recognize everything about them. I love the paradox in that. These faces are both anonymous and deeply familiar. The glass itself plays into that tension, it is fragile but sharp, reflective but solid, and it mirrors the contradictions of human identity in the digital age.

The work isn’t simply about sunglasses, it’s about the ongoing negotiation between appearance and essence. What do we choose to show? What do we guard? And how much can others really know about us based only on what we project outward?
