Based in Los Angeles, California, I have been a dealer of fine antique and contemporary glass art paperweights, marbles, and related objects since 2011. My specialty lies in the art of millefiori and in miniature flamework and torchwork glass sculpture—delicate creations encapsulated in solid, crystal-clear glass.
Over the years, my work has grown beyond buying and selling to include appraisals, collection evaluations, attribution and identification, provenance research, and advisory services for collectors, estates, and others seeking expertise in the field. I regularly assist with individual works as well as larger collections, drawing upon years of hands-on experience with antique and contemporary paperweights, knowledge of the marketplace, historical research, and an extensive network of collectors, dealers, artists, and scholars.
From 2017 to 2020, I served the paperweight community as Facebook Administrator for the national Paperweight Collectors Association (PCA), promoting the art form and publishing educational content. From 2019 to 2023, I represented the dealer community as PCA Dealer Representative and served on the Board of Directors, followed by service as Vice President beginning in 2023. In 2026, I became President of the PCA. In addition, I have published numerous articles and given presentations for the PCA Bulletin and Newsletter, as well as for regional organizations. Regionally, I serve as President of the Southern California Paperweight Collectors Association, where my roles have also included newsletter editor and webmaster.
As a dealer and advisor, I see myself as a guide for collectors along their own unique journeys. Every collector has different preferences and enters the hobby at a different stage. My role is to educate, advise, help collectors better understand the objects they own or are considering, and provide access to the finest works available. I especially enjoy showing at art and antique fairs and at regional collector gatherings—sharing stories with seasoned enthusiasts and welcoming new ones. My ultimate goal is to build lifelong relationships through knowledge, trust, scholarship, and exceptional works of art.
The artists who master these demanding techniques are few—perhaps fewer than twenty living practitioners worldwide are capable of creating truly fine encapsulated sculpture. It is a rare and unforgiving art form, requiring not only extraordinary technical skill but also artistic vision and lifelong dedication.
The works I offer span from the mid-1800s to the present day, representing the very best of this tradition. The earliest examples, though utilitarian in nature, were already cherished as precious objects and collected much like contemporary art is today. Modern paperweight artists have advanced the craft into true fine art, achieving levels of realism and detail once thought impossible.
As you explore these offerings, I invite you to reach out with questions about works in the collection or for assistance with identification, attribution, appraisal, collection evaluation, or other advisory needs. Whether you are an experienced collector, have inherited a collection, or are simply curious about an object you own, I am always happy to share my knowledge and help.
Enjoy your journey through this remarkable art form.
