I fell in love with glass after my first touch in the hot shop making a paperweight at the Chronicle Glass Studio.

My background is more rooted in engineering, as I completed a BE(Mech) at Canterbury University in 1980s. I have through this, a strong connection to geometry and mathematics. Geometric patterns and clean forms are a regular feature of my glass.

More recently I have branched out and have started casting with lead crystal glass. Unlike the immediacy of working hot glass, casting lets me explore design and form with more control and reproducibility.
