I find glass addictive and I enjoy the mix that glass offers of both science and creativity. In order to advance my skill level and enjoyment I have attended many international artist workshops, both in New Zealand and overseas. I love challenges and I am drawn to the more difficult fusing techniques involving multiple firings. By understanding the physical properties of glass and using gravity, many different structures, designs and forms can be executed.
I derive my inspiration from the sea – the life it holds; the secrets it covers. It is exciting to identify a concept and use gained knowledge and expertise to plan and execute the work to a high standard. I strive to create work that not only conveys the concept, but that is beautiful in its own right.
