I am a full time artist. I endeavour through my work to express my love of pattern and form primarily through the use of negative spaces and the combining of opal and transparent glass.

My glasswork is kiln formed created in muy studio which is in a verdant, rural setting so typical of New Zealand, offering space and a kind of serene tranquilly, essential to my creative process.

My first introduction to glass was about 14 years ago in London when I met Danny Lane, a celebrated international glass sculptor. His work had a truly profound impact on me. I knew right then, at some point I would work with glass.

My work is mainly fused and slumped glass, I find this process best enables me to realise my designs, most of which are influenced by my Maori and New Zealand heritage, combined with a sense of connection to the land – bush and sea.

It is my desire to create work that aside from the pure innate beauty of glass, also reflects a sense of my emotion and spirit, my journey
