Featured Artist Question and Answers: |
| How long have you been creating glass art? About 20 years. I began with leadlight and copper foil work. This produces a lot of glass scraps and rather than throw them away, mosaic was a natural progression. |
| |
| How have you developed your this skill in glass work?
Initially, I did some basic courses but basically I’m self taught. Lots of practice and patience. I’m good at creating something new from a possible disaster and have always had a good sense of colour. |
| |
| |
| Who or what has been a major inspiration/influence in art? Louis Comfort Tiffany and Anton Gaudi. Tiffany once noted that glass is alive, depending on the light source it constantly changes
|
| |
| What do you hope to give with your art?
An appreciation of something beautiful but also practical in use and still be an original. Functional artwork you could say!
|
| |
| What do you get from your art?
Great satisfaction when the idea in my mind is translated into glass.
|
| |
| What has been your greatest moment with your glass creations?
Selling. It’s always a compliment when people appreciate my work enough to actually buy it. |
| |
| Where would you like to take your art?
I would like people to recognise that it is an art and not just a craft. |
| |
| What would you say to someone who is interested in taking up glass art?
Cutting glass is probably the most important skill to learn. After all this time I’m still learning techniques from the past but there is also always something new in the way of tools, techniques and materials to play with. Of course, they could do one of my classes. |
| |
| What part of your spirit adds to your success as an artist? Passion. I love working with the colours and textures of glass. It truly does have a life of its own and each piece develops its own unique character as it unfolds |
| |
| Who do you know that is a ‘spirited’ woman?
My daughter, Rachel is the first to come to mind. Actor, singer, songwriter, photographer, Polymer Clay artist and general creative person. |
| |
| Is there anything else you would like to let us know about you?My work is available for sale through Peace of Green in Maleny and Seaview Gallery at Moffat Beach.
Rachel & I will be holding classes in both glass and polymer clay (another medium which is breathtaking in its potential and scope) in my beautiful studio overlooking the Glasshouse Mountains and rainforest at my home in Maleny.
