Mike is an Ogden, Utah based lampworker, who specializes in unique pendants, marbles, Christmas Ornaments and more.
He began working with glass in January of 1994. Since that time he has passionately studied and practiced the art, always striving to perfect his techniques and learn something new. In addition to lampworking, Mike has experience with glass fusing, glass etching and neon sign making.
Mike’s work is inspired by nature’s beauty, pop culture, the strange and macabre. Halloween and Christmas are his favorite holidays, which is noticeable in his work. Mike’s Christmas Ornaments and Octopus pendants have become some of his most popular items and his signature pieces.
Mike and his work were featured in the 2020 Lifetime Christmas movie “The Christmas Edition” starring Marie Osmond, Rob Mayes, Carly Hughes and directed by Peter Sullivan. He has also been featured in Glass Line magazine, The Flow magazine, LAMMAGA magazine (Japan) and numerous local publications.
He sells his work online, locally at select galleries and at arts festivals and markets.
