About this event

His glass and mixed media works have been exhibited at home and abroad in venues including The Sculpture Center, OH, The Agnes Varis Art Center, NY, Glassmuseet Ebeltoft, Denmark and Glasenhuis, Belgium.

He has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Kanik Chung Legacy Fellowship at MassArt and an Individual Excellence Award through the Ohio Arts Council.
