Neon Songs As a neon bender and a music lover, my ears have always perked up at the mention of neon in song lyrics. It’s something I started to notice pretty much as soon as I began learning how to bend glass. I started keeping a list and whenever I would hear a neon song on the radio, I would Read more

Unfurling 250 is a group art show themed around America’s 250th birthday, currently on view at James Oliver Gallery. I am one of 20 participating artists, and I was thrilled to be invited.

I hit the ground running at the start of 2026 with a neon project that pretty much consumed my January. The project was a custom neon sign for another artist, Pam Korman, who was getting ready for her first solo show, at the Automat, in Philadelphia. She is a photographer and interdisciplinary artist who contacted me about fabricating a neon Read more
This past fall, I completed a fun project that was also very special to me. My friend and fellow Philadelphia Dumpster Diver artist, Alden Cole, commissioned me to make him a Winged Heart to hang in the transom window above the doorway in his home. I had never made a winged heart design before and was excited about the idea, Read more
I am currently participating in an exhibition titled Call It What It Is: A Neon Show Of Banned Words. It visualizes the growing list of words that are being flagged by the Trump administration and scrubbed from government documents and websites. It is quite an extensive list, and serves as an attempt to silence voices and conversations about “woke” subjects Read more
I recently travelled out to Ohio to attend a get-together for neon makers. It was sponsored by the Neon Makers Guild, an organization that I helped found 3 years ago. Neon sign making isn’t a very common occupation; often neon tubebenders work in solitude, or with only one or two people, so having the opportunity to get together and talk Read more
I was recently contacted by a woman looking to get her beloved neon sign fixed. It had belonged to her late father, and her teenage son who was very close to him, wanted the sign to hang in his bedroom. Besides being broken, the sign was in pretty rough shape. It was covered in dust, had broken tube supports, and Read more
The last weekend of March, I had the opportunity to attend a workshop at Plasma Graphics in Atlantic City. Owner Tom Beibel and his son Steve (pictured below) hosted the workshop in their studio. I first visited Plasma Graphics back in 1997, when they hosted an afterparty for neon tubebenders at the Sign Expo trade show, so it was great Read more
I recently did a fun project for a local tasting room, Stone & Key Cellars. The owner wanted an open sign for his window but also wanted to incorporate his logo in the design. I was excited to manifest his vision in neon lights! I didn’t take many photos during the making process, but here are a few. I made Read more
