THE HANDS BEHIND THE GLASS
This is Tish.
And we are incredibly privileged to have her join the team.
Tish doesn’t just work with glass — she challenges what people believe glass can be. Through mixed media and storytelling, she transforms a material often seen as fragile into something powerful, interactive, and deeply human.
Her work is inspired by lived experiences, indigenous games, and the stories that connect us — creating art that invites people not just to look, but to engage.
Over the past few years, Tish has built an extraordinary artistic journey, with 2025 marking a particularly remarkable chapter.
She was honoured with a National Art and Culture Award for Outstanding Visual Artist, received the Keys to the Museum Award from the South African Museums Association, was nominated as a Top 125 Artist, became a Glass Art Society (GAS) Emerging Artist nominee, joined the Spier Creative Block programme, and participated in the 2025 Paris Art Expo – 4th International Edition.
Following her studio assistantship at the Chrysler Museum of Art, Perry Glass Studio, her journey continues to grow across both local and international spaces.
But beyond the achievements, what stands out most is her curiosity, her willingness to keep learning, and her ability to see possibility where others see limits.
Some artists create beautiful work.
Others change the conversation.
Tish is doing both.
