New Artists and reviews
My work has recently been shown at the Degree Show and Open Studies Show at Hertfordshire University. It will be included in New Designers in July 2009.
I work in fused glass to make jewellery and small items generally of a quirky nature. I repurpose bottles drunk on Coll by cutting and sandblasting my designs into them to transform them into something new. I’m experimenting with enamels and different ways of drawing and printing onto glass. The photos don’t show my full range of work as I’ve just grasped photgraphing and editing glass pictures.
I now confine my work to making for Fairs and a few galleries, also selling through my website. I am experimenting with enamels, combined with recycled glass, and teach to small groups on request.
My main area is architectural glass.
Lampwork beads, including memorial (cremains) beads, fused glass coasters and small dishes.
In 2016 my pieces “Sandstone Jali” was selected as part of the Inspired By…. competition run in conjunction with the V & A museum and was displayed in the Morley Gallery. Also in 2016 I had work selected by the Contemporary Glass Society “Mixed Up Motley” on line exhibition. For the past two years my work has been selected to appear in the Pure Arts Group exhibition in Battle and this year I have also been selected for the Kent Painters Group in Sevenoaks. In 2017 I was selected by the Royal Ulster Academy. In 2019 I was selected by the RBA and had a piece of work in the Mall Galleries.
