A native Western Australian, part Aboriginal and part Dutch Hawaiian, Glaskin is not only a tribal oceanic artist but also a storyteller and environmentalist. His primary means of expressing is painting, but he also sculpts.

He has traveled extensively seeking the connections between people past and present through water. Glaskin believes that water is the common bond between modern and ancient people. This intense relationship with water is evident with Derek's other passion, surfing.

We are proud to have on hand a number of Derek's works revolving around his love of water and the surf.
