GLASS & PAINT

Based in Fremantle, WA

WelCoMe

Welcome beautiful friends old and new! I hope you are as inspired as I am by glass, paint and the nature of colour! I love a good story, and I endeavour to weave stories from my life into my work.  Join me as I take the sorrows and joys and hopefully seek beauty from all that I encounter.

Glass

For over 20 years I have cherished the gentle practise of lampworking.  The fire creates a space for new forms of methodical movement.  Making beads and other glass baubles has always done a great job of slowing me down, focusing my mind, and comforting my heart.  I love sharing these small treasures out into the world.

InsTallatION

Sculpture and installation has been a beautiful way for me to connect to the community around.  I am never an artist who wants to work in isolation.  The method and means of my approach to large installation works is within spaces of gathering.  Looking for stories to tell and using materials that slow us down to hear and speak.

PaINt

As I have grown in my practice, paint has become my space of soothing. I have been drawn to use colour and marks to mirror my heart and provide healing along the way.

Artist Musings

Much of my collections throughout the years have been inspired and influenced by particular times of intense feelings. Some of pain and loss others joy or delight. My blog will go back and reflect on some of these older collections, and look forward to what’s coming next! Thanks for your curiosity as you join in the story!
