I am a glass artist working with kiln formed glass. I use the heat in a kiln to fuse, carve and slump the glass, manipulating its colour, texture, and shape. Some pieces are then cold worked through polishing, grinding, and sandblasting. I have taken classes at Blue Dog Glass Studio in Melbourne with artist Brenda Page and masterclasses with international glass artists Carrie Iverson, Richard Parrish, and Amanda Simmons. I completed a Bachelor of Contemporary Art at the University of South Australian in 2023. My work received a Highly Commended 2022 Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize & 2022 Victor Harbor Art Show. I have been selected for the 2024 Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition. My work uses the unique properties of glass to celebrate the colour and beauty of my local surrounds. |
