Artist statement

Of the many media and processes which can be used to create, I have always been attracted by glass and its potential. Initially working with stained glass, I became drawn to the dynamic nature of the blowing process which seemed to better suit both my nature and my vision.

I have a strong preference for objects of a personal scale and with potential utility: Such as a vessel with a lid or stopper has always been of most interest. Colour and pattern are also important: either a single pure color highlighting form or a more complex mixture to create patterns. I particularly admire the work of Richard Marquis and Dante Marioni for these reasons.

I amĀ  proud of the final product but the actual process of creation is what I find most satisfying.
