Toucans: Large glass art roundel & miniatures
The toucan is a symbol of playfulness and intelligence.
The toucan's bright colors and association with lush, fruitful environments also make it a symbol of prosperity, wealth, and the bounty of nature. What more could one ask for?!
Did you know toucans are among the noisiest birds in the forest. They make loud barks and bugling calls, and can live for up to 20 years - which is quite a lot for a bird. It must be special!
Can this be explained? No, it's toucan fusing 😂
I grew up with toucans, as my Mum drank Guinness, and collected Guinness Toucan memorabilia, so the whole colourful-beak thing was embedded in me from an early age. Now I have a chance to release these dormant influences as “Toucans” - my latest work.
I particularly created this piece as a 3 part collection as I loved the idea of my Toucan having friends and family in the thicket around them. We all like having our friends around us!
Toucan never have too many friends 😂

The whole collection totals around 290 pieces of individually cut art glass, making it my most complex work to date.
IN DETAIL
This is an original fused glass artwork in the Hard Edge glass art style.
The large roundel is 18¼” round, and ¼” thick.
The stand increases the size to a generous 20.5” width and 24” height, ensuring its prominence in any display space.
The 2 vase-shaped miniatures are on different sized steel stands, taking the natural look & depth of the whole arrangement to a new level.
