Growing up in a farming family, my formal education initially led me toward horticulture and agricultural studies. However, while traveling, I discovered a profound passion for art in all its forms. After exploring fiber art and 2D design on Nantucket and working as a horticulturist on Maui, I decided to fully pursue the visual arts.
Upon returning to Louisville, Kentucky, I found my true creative focus in glass blowing and hot glass. In 2009, I stepped into the role of Creative Director and equal partner alongside Casey, where I continue to co-lead our creative vision.
Since graduating from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in architecture, I have traveled to Seattle, Tennessee, North Carolina, and New York to study and work at various craft schools. My experience includes time at Pilchuck, the Appalachian Center for Crafts, Penland, UrbanGlass, and the Studio at Corning.
In the fall of 2002, I established Hyland Glass. Our studio and showroom are located at 721 East Washington Street in Louisville, KY, where we create contemporary handblown glass objects designed "for the everyday and the days in between."
