Glass is the most magical of all materials. It transmits light in a special way ... I'm pleased that my art appeals to so many people of all ages. As a parent and an artist, I'm especially looking forward to leaving a legacy at The Children's Museum, a place where I hope my work brings joy to children who visit from all over the world.

Glassblowing is historically the most used technique in "Art Glass" and is still favoured by most of today's Studio glass artists. This is because of its intimacy with the material, and almost infinite opportunity for creativity and variation at almost every stage of the process. "Blown Glass" refers only to individually hand-made items but can include the use of moulds for shaping, ribbing & spiking to produce decorative bubbles. Not all blown glass is "Art Glass". One major exception is scientific glassware which is often blown to order, in a studio.
