i am a quartz crystal consultant and "Veil" artist.
VEIL art is produced by trance / transcendental mediums. Several artists in particular have helped me the most in this respect: M.C. Escher, Aubrey Beardsley, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Rene Lalique and Claude Monet perhaps having been my favorites.

I enjoy Buddhist, Hindu and Jain philosophies, and have observed vegetarianism passionately for 45 years. I have been studying crystallography since the age of three, and enjoy chemistry, horticulture and photography.

Assemblage sculpture consists of thousands of objects gathered into a permanent installation. The ones i make take years to produce and are washable. I made Tiffany-style copper-foil stained glass windows and lamps for 14 years. Digital photography has eventually, largely replaced stained glass for me as a love affair, although today i am engrossed with pocket mirrors, kaleidoscopes, and other unique items of epoxy, glass and mineral fabrication.
