I
was born in Cape Town, South Africa, raised in the beautiful
city of West Vancouver, B.C. Canada, and am currently enjoying
life, with my family, in the lush wilds of the pacific northwest
(commonly known as Oregon).
I
have many passions but am repeatedly drawn to fused glass
as my primary medium for personal expression. The depth
of the colours, the lure of the textures & the endless
possibilities for creating function in art, make fused glass
an ideal area in which to explore.
Like
any medium, fused glass has it's rules - so the individuality
& style of any piece, is a reflection of the Artist.
I like to believe that the most mundane things in life can
be beautiful and interesting. I enjoy the challenge of combining
colours, shapes and textures to form works of art that are
conversation pieces in and of themselves, while still being
functional & usable on a daily basis.
My
portfolio includes items currently available & those
that have already been sold. Each piece is original &
unique. A substantial portion of what I do is on a request/commissioned
basis. I am always open to suggestions regarding my glasswork,
and am more than happy to discuss any requests that you
might have.
