I mainly work to commission for the domestic and corporate markets. Commissions include windows, doors, free-hanging panels, wallpieces and large mirrors. My aim is to create pieces which will make the most of available light, exploit the natural beauty of the glass and remain a source of interest to the client for years to come.

I am an experienced teacher of my craft and teach beginners through to advanced students at my studio, West Dean College (near Chichester) and Flatford Mill (Suffolk).

I create stained glass panels and fused glass vessels and art panels,
Commissions are welcome.

In 2019 I was delighted to have my fused glass wall art ‘Beneath the Waves’ and my sculpture ‘Forever Young’ exhibited in the CGS Glorious Glass Exhibition at St Helens World of Glass. I am continuing to develop my ideas in creating connected pieces of fused glass to make larger pieces of work and overcoming the limitations of my small kiln. In my stained glass work I am working on projects that incorporated bespoke fused glass pieces into stained glass windows for customers.

As I am still experimenting … developing my skills … trying to find my path… work out which one I can do the most with…
So my current projects are:
a) using enamels in fully fused work, method a la Paul Messink
b) using dichroic paper and micas to enhance fused glass items not just jewellry
c) combining enamels with dichroic and micas
these last two are based on Tanya’s methodologies but using others enamels that already existed in the ceramics world.

My work is anthropomorphic. Often presented in pairs. Balance is a constant consideration within this work.
