Details
I am interested in people and communities and their stories. I find that glass offers me a medium that in some ways replicates the human condition – sometimes shiny, glossy, bright, clear and very strong, but in other forms brittle, matt, light and fragile
The opportunity to play, create, tell stories, please others with something that they connect with are just some of the reasons that being an artist is a wonderful thing.
Glass artist, occasionally mixed media, and always developing skills in drawing, paint and print.
I offer workshops in different aspects of working with glass, such as fusing and copper foiling.
