I love the challenges of working in glass, the limits of available colours, the restrictions for possible detail, the simplicity of shape to tell the story.
Taking my inspiration from nature – the wild and the calm, undiscovered corners and wide open spaces, the changing light of every day from dawn to dusk, across the seasons, in all weathers.

I studied art at Reading Art College and Islington Institute, but in 2001 was introduced to stained glass and although I continue to work using the traditional techniques, I’m constantly changing and evolving into new areas.

My work is regularly exhibited in East Anglia in exhibitions and in art galleries, plus a steady stream of commissioned work for hanging panels and windows and doors.

Linear and Lateral Reversions:
My most recent body of work is a celebration of life and death. The process I have developed to make these objects is a process of destruction and re-creation. It creates a constant motion frozen in time. The process enables me to influence the balance of light, colours and contrast within the objects. This ‘Reversion’ process creates a unique set of characteristics in each object.

My work embodies my former life as a dancer, full of fluidity and movement. I endeavour to avoid the conventional and create pieces that are curvy, tactile and textured. The Pate De Verre technique particularly interests me and my work usually becomes the sum of many smaller pieces that eventually evolve into a much larger whole. After a recent trip to Thailand I am currently working on some Coral inspired pieces.
