Essentially a self taught artist, my craft skills employed in object making have been garnered though community based art education programmes, supplemented by the generous sharing of knowledge that takes place within New Zealand's many small independent professional studios & workshops.
Art is a gift, a conduit to communicate across the barriers of race, language, culture and generation, a message of hope for humanity.
Since early childhood I have had an unquenchable passion for the marine & freshwater environment, as an object maker the material qualities of glass with its 4th dimensional depths and distortions, provides an alluring hypnotic medium within which to explore this mysterious affliction.
