At a time where the increasing need to consider our consumer footprint is ever prevalent, the art industry is no exception.

I became an artist to fulfil a fascination with form and light through my lifelong medium of glass – along the way I discovered the potential in the creative re-cycling of the material itself.

As one of the few glass artists in New Zealand, recycling window glass into contemporary abstract sculptures that reflect and manipulate light. I transform recycled sheet glass into sculptures that are not only visually pleasing, but capture the public's imagination and stimulates contemplation.
