intro



This Blog is about my life as an Australian glassblower and glass artist.

I am largely self taught, but my mentors have been deeply significant.

Alasdair Gordon - A Creative Mentor



Marrying into Eileen's family, I gained a Mother and Father in-law, who continuously teach me about love and art. My whirlwind approach is calmed when in the company of Alasdair. His patience and the detail in his work is mind blowing. His life and work re-enforces my belief, that everyone needs a mission, a reason to get up in the morning. He knows so much after all these years, but he acts like he is just beginning, so excited to get to his studio and try some new idea. He taught me that art is an endless journey; you have to get out there and explore. And that new idea, the thing you find, it was on your trail.

Alasdairs' work is getting better and better; with more urgency, comes greater and more important work.  But what I like most about him, he is so humble, seeing  ancient glass in a museum can still have him to tears, because it's just so good.
