My Story

I design and make functional and decorative art glass. I work in my studio in Rozelle
where I create my pieces.
My inspiration comes from the unique Australian landscape. I utilise the colours of the
outback, reef and rainforest
I established and managed a very successful Graphic Design Studio for many years.
During that time I attended a short glass course at Sydney College of the Arts and
immediately fell in love with the medium of glass.
I have attended a number of master classes, but I am primarily self taught.
I have experimented and developed techniques particular to my practice.
I initially set up a glass studio in Balmain, Sydney and worked there in addition to my
design consultancy.
I eventually sold my Graphic Design Studio in order to concentrate working full time in
glass making.
I have exhibited widely in Australia and overseas. In addition to my glassmaking, I
conduct classes for adults
