Hi, I’m Dot

Glass has a secret life at 1,460°F.

It moves. It flows. It becomes something entirely new — and then, as it cools, it holds that moment forever.

I've spent years mastering that moment.

Working from my studio in Palm City, Florida, I create contemporary fused glass art using a centuries-old medium and modern science, driven by a relentless curiosity about what glass can do. The Florida coast with its light, its water, its colors runs through everything I make.

Every piece is one of a kind. Every piece is made to last a lifetime.
