The “Rivera Court” at the Detroit Institute of Arts (via DIA Photography blog)
Last summer, I visited Michigan and had the pleasure of spending a day at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), a museum which has garnered all kinds of media attention recently as large portions of its collection face the controversial threat of sale.

While Rhode Island hasn’t been hit by the polar vortex nearly as hard as other places, I still find myself already itching for spring–not only for the warmth, but for the burst of color that lends so much inspiration for works of colored glass. It’s during these grayest of January days that I often daydream about visiting the tulip fields of North Holland.
Last month, I made another sawtooth kilnformed glass piece for Fallsgrove Plaza, a new medical office building in Rockville, Maryland, designed by DVA Architects for Lerner Enterprises.
