Artist Statement

I dream in glass, and whatever the dream, this material is rich and versatile enough to give it form.” Rachael Woodman

I’ve been a glassmaker for over forty years. In that time, I’ve learned so much about working with the material and I’m still learning about this beautiful medium and the potential it has as a vehicle for story telling.

The material qualities of glass have no limits as far as I’m concerned so I can continue to express thoughts and dreams and stories in ways that are fresh and relevant to my Christian journey and my development as an artist.

I continue to develop and explore themes that have woven in and out of my work for years…..sometimes deeply personal journeys into my spirituality and faith. At other times, joyful and extravagant celebrations of this unique material and the creative energy within it.

Glass has taken me on a lifelong journey and has enabled me to create a visual autobiography that I hope, will speak for itself.
