I create because I have always been curious and thought in a different way. I have always questioned, drew, sang, acted, philosophised. Art was the most comfortable vehicle I found to express what I wanted to say in a direct way. I could have worked in any material but glass found me. Due to the complexities of working with the material I was, and I am consistently pushed physically and intellectually. Further, the beauty of the material means I can create rather dark themed work which enchants people by its attractiveness. I value creating pieces which my viewers can make a personal and authentic connection with.
