I believe in the fundamental interconnectedness of all things, a concept beautifully articulated by Douglas Adams. It's a humorous truth, especially in our increasingly urbanized world where many of us have lost touch with our deep connections to nature. And it's through these connections—not through attempts to manage and control the world, but through the simple act of showing up as one creature among many, as Dougald Hine so eloquently puts it—that we develop a sense of value and importance for all that surrounds us.

My underwater experiences, the language of bubbles, and the captivating world of marine life, both familiar and strange, inspire my work. I aim to celebrate these wonders through my art, while also highlighting their crucial roles in sustaining our ocean ecosystems. As Rachel Carson wisely said, “The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.”

I use traditional hot glass techniques in non-traditional, environmentally sustainable ways, repurposing materials to create unique, sculptural pieces. My artistic journey began with a background in science and technology, leading me to train at the Royal College of Art. I've since exhibited internationally, and my work can be found in private collections across Australia, China, Europe, the UK, and the United States. Recently, I relocated to west Wales and partnered with another glassmaker to establish an environmentally sustainable, carbon-friendly studio. You can follow our progress on my blog.
