I've been on the torch since January '99, started making marbles in January '07. I love blowing glass and find it's fluidity while working very appealing, it's a great medium to manipulate, to use to create your thoughts and ideas in three dimensions. I love making marbles as well as sculptural pieces and jewelery. If you get a chance, please check out my website! www.benburtonglass.com. Mahalo and Aloha!

Full Time Glass Artist. I'm the artist currently known as 'Starving'

Besides Glass? I love the beauty of nature, especially the ocean, and the energy in it. There's something about the salt water that revives and invigorates me. I love to bodyboard and spend my days off at the beach if I can. Surf, swim, fish, or just laying out soaking up the sun with some friends, there's always a good reason to go to the beach!! I love dogs, and have a few aquariums as well!!

Be sure to keep the planet clean, please don't litter. The aina takes care of those who take care of the aina. This world isn't ours, we borrow it from our children, the easy way today means tomorrow that we're killing.

Live aloha!
