Viejas Project

 Viejas Casino and Resort opens their new Luxery hotel in style.

Working with glass artist Tom Marosz, I collaborated with him to create this beautiful glass feather installation in the lobby of the hotel.  

Consisting of several feather patterns based on native bird species and several of my own signature designs.  The largest feathers reach out to three feet in length ! 

Come stop by the newly built hotel and enjoy the lavish designer decor that makes the Viejas hotel a destination point in San Diego. 

This has been such an honor to have some of my finest glass sculptures in such a prominent location.

 they will run and not grow weary,

 they will walk and not be faint. "
