This is a small vase with a lightly engraved Himalayan blue poppy. When you peek through the top it looks like its just about to unfold. The lettering is very simple and plain around the top of the vase. This was a sweet little thing to engrave, my client spotted the vase and visioned this flower on it. Quite often the glass will tell you what to put on it, because of its shape and essence.
Discovered glass engraving while attending the Interior Design Program at Mount Royal College in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1986. While researching glass, found the guild of Glass Engravers in London, England.
Started engraving glass in 1986 as a hobby and began taking commissions over the years. Relocated to British Columbia in 1988 and engraved mirrors, window and cabinet panels for two local glass shops and completed numerous private commissions on diverse glassware.
Previous Gallery representation, Lloyd Gallery, Penticton, B.C. and the Art Gallery of the South Okanagan, gift shop.
Started an Engraving business out of my studio in Naramata B.C.
Located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley surrounded by orchards, vineyards and a lake, my tiny rustic studio sits on Naramata Creek at my home. Currently engraving heirloom, heartfelt pieces for private clients as well as decorative pieces for the interior design market.
Elected craft Member of the Guild of Glass Engravers. www.gge.org.uk The primary aims of the guild are to promote the highest standards of creative design and craftsmanship in glass engraving.
