Sue Hawker spent most of her working career as a journalist in the international media scene.

Sue mainly works from her home studio overlooking the beautiful waters of the Bay Of Islands in New Zealand. Sue works in cast glass and pate de verre, which she has reinterpreted to produce large-scale vessels complex in both colour and texture.

“These vessels, or containers of the spiritual, cock a snoot at minimalism and invite the viewer to engage in a simple, joyous moment.”

Sue was the winner of the Ranamok Glass Prize in 2010 and has been a finalist multiple times.
