KELL GLASS
Crafted by hand. Fired to form.
TM
Gilded
Crafted using hand-cut shreds of genuine gold, silver or copper leaf, and natural mineral flakes. Delicately layered into each sculpture’s design, the inclusions are encased between individual glass shards while the composition takes shape. Within the inner layers, tiny metallic flecks and metal oxide powders are applied into the crevices – a meticulous process to form vein-like trails throughout the work. Once fired, the gilded veins and flashes of metal illuminate the sculpture with an ethereal, opulent glow.
Copper Currents
10 x 7.5 inches
$685
Juelerye Artisan Gallery
Melding metallic brilliance with captivating fluidity, Copper Currents is my first gallery piece in this new series.
Crafted in a vibrant palette of rich aqua and deep teal-green, the sculpture's water-inspired design features a hand-shaped organic form with textured edges that play beautifully with light. Intricate trails of shimmering copper inclusions are tediously layered between shards and within the crevices, evoking motion throughout the sculpture and creating a brilliant contrast against the translucent glass.
My Gilded series is a new exploration of material, technique, and creativity, and Copper Currents did not disappoint. Each viewing angle reveals new depths, textures, and reflection, setting the stage for what’s still to come.
* Proceeds from this sculpture benefit Arts for Life, a North Carolina nonprofit shining and sharing the light of creativity with pediatric patients.

Illuminating Promise [Sold - $6,500]
A benefit sculpture for the Lincoln County Coalition Against Child Abuse & Child Advocacy Center
2025 Cigars, Bourbon & Benefactors event
This profoundly meaningful sculpture prompted the development of my Gilded series, with its hand-cut shreds of 22k gold leaf woven throughout the design.
The upward momentum of "Illuminating Promise" symbolizes the act of rising through darkness and persevering against adversity, reflecting the children's journey of reaching for the light and trusting the surrounding pathways of support.
Woven through its layered shards are golden prismatic threads – trails of promise – beaming from deep within the crevices, a design feature that allows light to break through the shadows and reveal a brilliant kaleidoscope of color. Ultimately, the sculpture culminates in an expression of victory where storms give way to clear skies and white clouds above – when hope and healing take over – and the breathtaking beauty of a wonderous new path emerges.

Gilded Garden
[Sold - $6,000]
A benefit sculpture for the Dove House Children’s Advocacy Center
This deeply purposeful centerpiece was created for the live auction at this year’s “An Evening for Dove House” event. The organization’s mission supports child-victims of abuse through advocacy, intervention, collaboration, and education.
I was inspired to create "Gilded Garden" as a visual metaphor for the journey of a child healing from abuse and the loving Dove House gardeners who gently tend to their broken roots.
My hand-formed sculptural bowl features rich green hues, floral accents, and genuine gold leaf layered throughout. These gleaming accents and cascading, prismatic trails do not hide the glass; they bring vibrancy, transforming vulnerability into resilient beauty. Small glass flower buds are embedded in the design representing growth and each child’s inherent potential to blossom despite harsh elements.
2026 marks my 5th year supporting this annual event – a humbling and rewarding opportunity to help make an impact for young, innocent victims of abuse. “Gilded Garden” stands as a reminder of the comfort, hope and healing that blooms for every child and family that Dove House serves.
