My glass work draws appreciation to sentimental ties taken between memory and nature. Deep lake blues and sculpted florals; etched by my roots along the Lake Superior shores of Thunder Bay, and the fleeting perennial blooms of my gardens in Chelsea, Quebec.

Glassblowing has been central to my life for more than two decades, beginning with focused studies at Sheridan College in 2002. Since then, my practice has evolved through teaching, exhibiting across Eastern Ontario, and founding Flo Glassblowing in 2011, which evolved to become what is now the Ottawa Glassblowing Co-op. Today, I continue to create glass work independently, making a combination of pieces both in the city co-op hotshop and my home torch studio. My hope is to evoke joy, an appreciation for craftsmanship, and meaningfulness with every piece.

Mon travail du verre célèbre les liens empreints de sens qui unissent la mémoire et la nature. Les bleus profonds des lacs et les formes florales sculptées portent l'empreinte de mes racines sur les rives du lac Supérieur, à Thunder Bay, ainsi que des floraisons éphémères de mes jardins de Chelsea, au Québec.

Le soufflage du verre est au cœur de ma vie depuis plus de vingt ans, un parcours amorcé par des études spécialisées au Sheridan College en 2002. Depuis, ma pratique s'est enrichie à travers l'enseignement, des expositions dans l'Est de l'Ontario, ainsi que par la fondation de Flo Glassblowing en 2011, qui est devenue l'actuelle Coopérative de soufflage du verre d'Ottawa. Aujourd'hui, je poursuis une pratique indépendante, créant des œuvres à la fois dans l'atelier de verre chaud de la coopérative et dans mon atelier de verre au chalumeau à domicile. Mon souhait est que chaque pièce suscite la joie, un profond respect pour le savoir-faire artisanal et un sentiment de sens et de connexion.
