Artist's Statement
My love of glass blowing is only rivaled by my love of drawing and painting. For me glass blowing is an "Art sport", it combines the physicality of sport with the aesthetic choices in art.

The figure and the landscape are at the heart of my work. When working with molten glass on a blowpipe, the figure emerges in my sense of proportion. Shape metamorphoses from thick to thin, vessel relates to body. In glass, pure saturated color mixes with luminous light. The interplay of the color and three-dimensional form poses a lifelong challenge to me as an artist, and a never-ending quest to master the centuries old craft of glass blowing.
