I am a New Zealand-based artist, working primarily in cast glass. In 2001 I completed a Bachelor of Design, (Sculpture Major) at the Unitec School of Design in Auckland. I developed an interest in glass following this, receiving my training through working as a technician to New Zealand glass artist Ann Robinson. I began working for Ann in 2002 and since 2010 have established my own practice.
My work is informed by a wide variety of sources and subjects. I am interested in the history and traditions of craft and decorative art, and in particular how these practices connect to my personal history as a New Zealander of European and Maori (Ngati Raukawa) ancestry.
Examples of my work are held in collections that include Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand, Dowse Art Museum, Waikato Museum of Art and History, and University of Waikato Art Collection.
