Bronte Cormican-Jones

President

Bronte is an emerging contemporary artist and writer, living and working on Garrigal and Durramurrgal traditional lands in Sydney. Her sculptural glass works explore relationships between architecture and the body. Bronte graduated from Sydney College of the Arts, The University of Sydney, with first-class Honours in Visual arts and a Bachelor of Visual Arts in Sculpture and English in 2022. She was awarded the FUSE Glass Prize David Henshall Emerging Artist Award in 2022 which included a month-long emerging artist residency at the JamFactory in Adelaide. Bronte was the Northern Beaches Artist in Residence at Eramboo Artist Environment for six months in 2023, where she exhibited her first solo exhibitions. She was awarded a scholarship position at Pilchuck Glass School to attend Kelsey Fernkopf and Steve Gilbert's site-specific neon workshop and was a 2023 Graduate-in-Residence at Canberra Glassworks. Bronte would like to contribute to the Ausglass board by representing emerging glass artists and bringing a focus to the new and exciting ways glass is being used in a studio context and beyond.
