I have recently exhibited my automotive portraits in the Silverstone Escapade hospitality facility, and at the Salon Prive event. I have my first solo exhibition at the Royal Automotive Club, London in December 2027 – January 2028

Over the years, I’ve created many memorial pieces, including works that incorporate ashes, headstones, and indoor and outdoor sculptures. Each is made in collaboration with the loved ones of someone who has died, with the aim of capturing something of their unique spirit and presence. It is always an honour to be entrusted with this work, and creating these pieces brings great meaning to my practice. At present I am working on a headstone that will be shipped to Germany.

When making holds our deepest focus, tools and materials come into harmony, giving form to our most meaningful insights.

Currently my work centres around Trees, communities and cultures. Exploring the reverence and respect invoked by trees, celebrating ways they connect people, cultures and communities across places, perspectives and planes of existence, living and beyond. Through something beautiful, warm and inviting. Incorporating celebration, myth and legend. My use of glass as a creative medium weaves between the balance of ‘ethereal and otherworldly’; grounded by the wooden discs that accompany each piece and shaped by the mythology of each individual tree
from which bark impressions are taken.

My practice explores the relationship between my body, the landscape, and the viewer’s experience. Using the pâte de verre process, I create casts of my own body and place them within outdoor environments, creating unexpected encounters between body, nature, and place.

Nature is central to both my life and my work. I am drawn to creating pieces that are experienced outdoors because I feel most connected to the natural world, and many of my most meaningful experiences of art have taken place within the landscape. By situating my work outside, changing conditions such as light, weather, and season become active collaborators in how the work is encountered.

Using my own body as subject creates a direct physical connection between myself and the work. Through mould-making and casting, I transform fragments of my body into glass forms that exist independently within nature. Through these works, I explore themes of presence, absence, belonging, and transformation, inviting moments of reflection, curiosity, and discovery.

My work resides in the space between 2 and 3 dimensions. Working with glass is my passion in its hot form or cut and fused for architectural settings. Either installed in an aperture of a building or wall mounted, panels of low relief glass explore the light and darkness, celebrating the formation of the earth. I am currently working on several private commissions including a stained glass window for the newly refurbished Cullercoats Watch House, a building made famous by the paintings of Winslow Homer in the late nineteenth century.

My recent work has focused on exploring glass as both a material and an artistic medium. During my A-Level Fine Art studies, I completed a project titled An Exploration of Glass, where I researched contemporary glass artists from the UK and across Europe to develop my understanding of different approaches to making. Through observational painting and analysis of their work, I explored how artists use form, colour, light, and movement within glass. This research informed the development of my own pieces, encouraging me to reflect critically on my practice and identify new techniques and ideas that I would like to explore in the future.
Another significant project was Growth and Decay, which examined natural cycles of life and change. For this project, I created glass sculptures inspired by organic forms and the processes of development, transformation, and deterioration found in nature.
Alongside my studies, I have gained experience supporting exhibitions and events through E&M Glass, including assisting at exhibitions in Luxembourg and Ruthin Craft Centre. These experiences have strengthened my interest in galleries, exhibition-making, and curation, while also providing valuable insight into the presentation of contemporary craft. I also regularly assist in the studio, supporting the making process and developing my understanding of glassmaking techniques.
