Gayle Shaw
Glass artist - Fused Glass Resides - Brisbane “I am committed to creating colourful glass objects through both simple and complex designs. I’m very interested in the natural environment around me, with a need to express something of the splendour that I see and the awe that I feel. I try to work with images that evoke peace and resonate with the landscape. I appreciate the luminous quality of glass and the beautifully clear and strikingly colourful glasses which I use, with a particular interest in the use of colour and interactions between the colours. I am always interested in extending my range of techniques and skills to stretch artistic expression through the strengths and limits of the medium, by using an experimental approach, trialing new ideas, attending workshops held by peers and participating in glass exhibitions.” Gayle has received many awards including at the Outback Art Show in Winton over a few years; at Balonne River Gallery in Surat and being a selected finalist in ‘Memento’ in 3 consecutive years. Whilst at college she was the winner of a competition to design and construct in sterling silver the Warana Queen’s Crown, which was worn at formal functions until the closure of the Warana Festival. Gayle is a much sought-after tutor and active member of Ausglass. |
