Ana works across a range of media including sculpture, installation, photography and drawing. She has a fascination with the emotional, symbolic and metaphorical dimensions of materials and objects and the histories and narratives which surround them. The back-story narrative gives her work a storied content which engages the viewer and compels them to look again. Using a process of inclusion and incorporation to embed objects in crystal glass, her poetic sculptures move towards a new possibility for glass.

Nowadays she enjoys to work with the glass in movement but being cold. While the paste of glass is wet, she can handle, model or texture it until it dries. Then it goes to the kiln with very little support.The result that she prefers is when the pieces are delicate, ethereal and you can even see through the paste of glass.
“The challenge of working to commission is to balance the fulfilment of a client’s brief with my own desire to innovate on the traditions of architectural glass. I’m constantly seeking to expand my own artistic vocabulary by experimenting with processes and applications, and to match that with content appropriate to the function of the architecture.”
“My autonomous work is almost always informed by nature, drawing from natural forms and using images abstracted from nature to create artworks that carry a personal narrative.”
Recent work includes the reception area windows for a new school building, an interior window for a wine lover, and fused glass font bowl and inserts for church furniture.
