Okotoks, AB, Canada
I am a 21 year old flameworker from Vancouver, BC. I have been working with borosilicate glass for 3 years now, primarily working out of Terminal City Glass Co-op. Last summer, I had the opportunity to attend some specialty classes at Corning Museum of Glass, as well as Pilchuck Glass School. When I came back, I was invited to start TAing in the flame studio at Terminal City Glass, as well as supervise our newbie nights in the flame studio. I have recently relocated to Calgary, AB, to pursue a BFA in glass at Alberta University of the Arts.

Everything is Always Connected
This piece was made after spending summer 2023 travelling the states in the pursuit of glass knowledge. It was inspired by Sibelle Yusek, Carmen Lozarm, and Elissa Newmeyer. It speaks to how connected the glass world is.
Molar Mistress
I quite enjoy making teeth, as well as the female busts, thus the molar mistress was born. Personally, I really love these.
Bug Buds
This is a collaboration between Evan Wytinck, WoodTickGlass, and myself. He did the dragonfly, I did the spider, and we worked together to weld them together and balance them.
Female Bust + Teaching Myself Photoshop
I've been enjoying sculpting the female form since last summer. More recently, I've also been getting into photo editing.
