Grant Donaldson Artist

"I love the physical and mental challenge of working with molten glass, and the thrill of creating works that show who I am and where I've been."

Born in Australia in 1959, Grant worked on the land until 1994 where he met Eileen Gordon and became captivated by the medium of Glass.

With boundless enthusiasm, Grant moved from farming to full-time glassblowing while assisting Eileen, quickly developing remarkable skills.

Grant enjoys the thrill of trying to create works in glass that reflect his complex ideas. For any artist it is difficult to translate abstract thought into work, but Grant doesn’t allow the glass medium to shackle this process. Loose pencil drawings attempt transcription of his thoughts, allowing his work in glass lots of latitude to flex and change.

His art: a description of his journey and ideas about time and space. The past becomes “a slingshot to explore the future”.
