21.01.2022 Take a moment to watch these spinning helicopter seeds flutter to the ground...
19.01.2022 Full of Promise, one of my large glass seeds. I make them only with clear glass, with the colour you see in this one created by the burning plant material inside.
19.01.2022 Spotty gum leaf
18.01.2022 One of my favourites. I was so pleased with how the patina worked out on this piece!
17.01.2022 Sketching in the Botanic Gardens today. The delicate seed heads on this native grass (Austrostipa ramosissima) caught my eye dancing in the gentle breeze. @ Australian National Botanic Gardens
17.01.2022 Today is National Eucalyptus Day! While the world has gone a bit crazy, let’s take a moment to appreciate the little things, like the beauty of our Australian flora
17.01.2022 Making more leaves. The copper wire is so buttery to work with!

09.01.2022 Dried corymbia blossom - I have always loved pink and orange together!
08.01.2022 Well friends, these are strange times. The world has been turned upside down and we are all scrambling to adapt to a new normal. Like many artists, my exhibition schedule has been thrown into chaos, with not just galleries closing their doors, but artist facilities too. So sadly, my exhibition at the Australian National Botanic Gardens will not be going ahead in June. However, I am happy to say that instead we will lock in some 2021 dates! It will be challenging to make work under these circumstances, but as always, I will find peace and comfort in the little things. Look after yourselves, practice kindness, and remember that we are all in this together
06.01.2022 Spot the difference 600 to pumice to cerium for a full polish
04.01.2022 Over weekend I reorganised my little home studio space. There’s no glasswork happening right now, but at least I have a little sunny space to draw with pencils or with wire.
04.01.2022 Gorgeous colours, shapes, and textures at the Australian National Botanic Gardens @anbgalive @ Australian National Botanic Gardens
03.01.2022 Bushfire remnants on Mt Canobolas a few weeks ago. Trying to reflect on little moments in nature during the chaos of moving house! Hopefully life settles down soon and I can show you some art making!
03.01.2022 There are only 6 Microcosms left! These latest Microcosms were made in response to Canberra’s explosion grass season. Not so great for hay fever sufferers, but endlessly beautiful in my opinion! The remaining pieces start at $120 and are available on my website.
03.01.2022 Corymbia leaves
02.01.2022 Throwback to this piece from 2016 from my Seed Store series: Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) I really love this series, and might be something I return to and explore further in the future.
