My fascination with glass as an artistic medium has unfolded over the almost forty years that I have lived in the South West.

The background to my current work with hot glass began in 1975 when I was introduced to stained glass work.

During the following years I explored the realms of lead lighting and copper foiling, creating a variety of works.

My interest in hot glass began in 1990. To complete certain works to my satisfaction I required handmade components, which led me to meet Alan Fox, one of the few practising glass blowers in W.A. at the time. My work with hot glass developed gradually through that relationship.

In the last 20 years or so, I have increasingly involved myself in this art form to the point where today I am engaged in part-time and independently, with pieces in collections world wide.

I am now creating a wide variety of individual pieces which are constantly evolving.

My inspiration comes from the endless possibilities created by the fluidity of this medium.

I find it exciting to continually be able to call into being new ideas for both functional and decorative piece.
