ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Glass for me is a path to admire beauty, to wonder, to dream, to connect, to imagine, to experiment, to learn, to make mistakes, to create. I love the way in which ‘accidents’ can discover unexpected effects that feed new inspirations. Endless exploration is what I find the most exciting in working with this unique material.

ARTIST'S BACKGROUND
My journey with glass started in 2016 with a Stained Glass course in the Macbeth Adult Education Center. Since that moment I was fascinated by how I could develop my creativity playing with light and colours. Later on, I became more interested in the fusing techniques and I enrolled in a Glass Jewellery course at Richmond Community College. I loved it, and I continued with more advanced courses in the kiln formed techniques there and at Morley College, where in 2021 I completed a BTEC Level 3 Arts and Design in Glass.
Presently, I keep developing my projects at Morley, where I enjoy learning and experimenting. New ideas lead me to different techniques, each of them captivating; they open innumerable possibilities to express myself and connect my work with the world that surrounds me, especially with nature, which remains the main source of my inspiration.
