I am a native Texan, born and raised on the Gulf Coast.  My love of glass began in 1983 and I spent the next 25 years working for glass artists around the country.  The knowledge and experience I gained opened the door for me to create G Kronke Studios and I am also associated with East By South East Studios, LLC in Austin, Tx.



My strong connection to nature is rooted in my passion for hiking and exploring the outdoors.  My work is a reflection of the awe and wonder I feel at nature's ability to create the rare and exotic.  



I strive to create textures that compel touch, colors that provoke memory, and shapes that expand reality.  Life/art ever evolves, seeking a vessel, a shape, a texture, a color - a path to expression.  And once created, each possesses an essence of life, a statement of being.
