My work is now progressing and my range of work expanding with more techniques and imagery From large shoals of fish built on 4 levels to 2m long waves from swimming pools as well as a more delicate range of work .I also supply many Galleries thought the Country with fused Glass wall art.
I am a stained glass artist making contemporary work using time-honoured traditional methods. As well as making windows, I adapt this primarily two-dimensional medium to create sculptural forms.
I am passionate about colour and how colours interact. I enjoy the way light brings coloured glass to life and the shadows cast by direct sunlight. I am particularly drawn to deep blues. Blue trees and branches have become my visual language for unseen connections and realities.
Recent work has been focused on using the blown glass form to fuse Western and Eastern concepts in design and meaning.
