		"The inspiration for my work comes from a variety of sources. including the unique qualities of glass itself, especially in it's molten state. The almost unlimited possibilities to play with colour, form and texture, provide a great avenue for creative expression. However, much inspiration is drawn from the rich diversity of Australia 's natural environments, the reef, the rain forest, wildflowers, the Outback and the colours and textures of the Australian landscape. My work is also greatly influenced by my interest in philosophy, anthropology, ancient cultures, the development of writing and language, the universal use of symbols and forms in art across all the continents. I enjoy drawing and the designing stage immensely, but there is also a need to be intimately involved in the making process. The hands on approach is necessary to satisfy that desire within to create. It also allows me to take advantage of the unexpected effects which result from playing with the colours and exploring new ways of creating forms or textures in molten glass."
