Introducing my personal favorite and most self-reflective piece yet—Sundance. This chandelier spans 3 feet in diameter and weighs 40 pounds, capturing the essence and energy of a colorful dawn or dusk sky. Sundance’s warm array of oranges, reds, pinks, and cooling turquoise in colored stained glass magnificently captures the light and energy given off by the sun. Adorned with precious gemstones, geodes, crystals, and fossils, Sundance becomes an ornate sculptural masterpiece. Looking up underneath, you'll notice a band of citrine and turquoise holding images of western wildlife, narrating their daily "Sundance" ritual.
Relinquished
Say hello to "Relinquished," my very first bonded, soldered, and fused glass antler chandelier. I created this masterpiece during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it has since sparked the birth of my other visions for glass antler chandeliers. "Relinquished" also carries personal significance as it pays homage to my inaugural first hunting experience with a bow, a personal story I wrote that got published in Bugle magazine. If you’re interested in reading my story its available in the Press column of my website or click the link below.
For me, this chandelier emerged as a beacon of creativity and resilience during that COVID year, marking a significant milestone in my artistic journey. She stands 5 feet tall and weighing 42 pounds, "Relinquished" features a pyramid geometric shape with three panels of stained glass artfully depicting the story of elk and their habitat. It symbolizes the inception of my vision, integrating antlers, glass, and precious gemstones into unique artworks, reflecting my lifelong love of shed hunting, gem and crystal hunting, big game hunting, and my identity as an artist and outdoorswoman."
