Inspired by the fragile beauty of New Zealand’s glaciers, our Glacier Teardrop captures the deep teal green tones found within ancient ice.

Both Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier continue to retreat as they face the effects of climate change - a reminder of how precious and vulnerable these landscapes truly are.

This piece reflects both their beauty and their fragility, preserving a moment of nature in glass.

Light changes everything with glass.

The same piece, a completely different presence - shifting colour, depth, and mood depending on where the light finds it. This Desert Road teardrop is a perfect example: backlit, it comes alive in a way that feels almost unexpected.

That’s the beauty of glass art - it’s never static. It evolves throughout the day, always revealing new nuances and details you didn’t notice before.
