About Me
I IiI became fascinated with the medium of glass when I did an elective in Warm Glass at the RMIT, while doing my Fine Arts degree in Sculpture in 2003.
My Sculpture practices uses recycled glass bowls and bottles that I find in Op shops and garage sales. I take these pieces and place them over a frame and melt them in the kiln. The glass flows freely and they are transformed into something new and completely different. As each piece is found, I never know how the glass will react to the heat, so each piece is completely unique.
The inspiration for exploring this process came from my fascination with a salt lake, near where I grew up in the Mallee. The salt water and the heat of the sun, effect the vegetation and objects left on the foreshore and they are eroded over time and become transformed into beautiful, desiccated, skeletal shapes.

After living in East Brunswick and working in my home studio there for 20 years, I moved in 2019 to South Gippsland. I have a gallery and studio in Foster, where I get to play and make work for exhibitions and the shop.
