Desert Night

Nature has always provided Eamonn with the perfect palate of colour to work from. Eamonn is fascinated with the brightness of light in Australia. The contrasts are strong and bold and the different textures offer him a smorgasbord of ideas. The Desert Night glass art piece shows Eamonn’s vision of bright, strong and energetic colours of Australia outback juxtapose to the dark desert skies.

Eamonn’s first impression of Australia was that the sky was so big, bright, and endless. As such, the depths of night time in the outback features strongly in this unique glass art piece. Eamonn asks you to transport yourself to the Australian outback – look up to the dark desert skies and look down at the colours, contrasts, patterns, swirls and energetic colours of the Australian outback.

Born in County Kilkenny, Ireland and now based in Adelaide, South Australia, Eamonn has always had a fine appreciation for good design and has loved working with his hands.

His desire to channel his creative energy led to him securing a highly sought-after apprenticeship in glass-making at the world famous, Waterford Crystal in Ireland. He qualified as a Master Cutter and Design in 1976, and later immigrated to Australia in 1987.

Eamonn takes great joy and pride in opening up people's eyes to the colours and wonders of nature through creating unique and beautiful pieces; each one a new expression of colour, light, warmth, beauty and fragility. Each piece of Eamonn Vereker glass is a unique, finely handcrafted piece of glass art.
