Known for her understated aesthetic, Loughlin takes her artistic cues from the vast, flat landscapes and salt lakes of South Australia and is particularly drawn to the inherent quietness and stillness of the land. Loughlin's thoughtful and instinctual approach to kiln formed glass, together with her extraordinary technical skills with the medium, has culminated in the artist being widely celebrated for her innovation both nationally and internationally.
