Winner of the 2024 Amanda Moriarty Memorial Prize.

I love working with light, colours, textures, volumes and image on glass. Myworks are the result of a constant exploration of techniques and materials.
Moods and nature are my topics. My favourite technique is Digital image transfer on glass, experimental method created by Andrea da Ponte. I made laminated castings on glass ofbioluminescent gellyfish and mushrooms, with the luminescent glaze wich contains fluorite stone, that turns luminous at night or under UV light.

‘The Alchemy of Fungi’ springs from my captivation with fungi, their diverse characteristics and their often-mysterious roles within the ecosystem. They not only have a wide range of colours and unique forms, but it’s their extraordinary abilities that inspire me. This piece aims to highlight and explore the complex and ecologic importance of the fungi kingdom within a scientific setting, delving into their ability to heal both humans and the planet, while also acknowledging their capacity to harm species.

Update Jan 2026 – Keith’s Work nominated for the 2026 John Ruskin Art Prize. The piece will be exhibited at the prestigious Trinity Buoy Wharf London through February 2026. Selected from an international entry of over four thousand entries. The piece will be displayed with a handful of shortlisted entries. My thanks to the prestigious selection panel. Meanwhile a new project for ancient warriors is unfolding and experimenting with deep formed pate de’ verre.

Sell dichroic jewellery, run workshops making tea light holders, suncatchers, curves and the like.

My recent sculptures are organic in nature. They are inspired by and made from a range of sometimes strange and always wonderful natural objects and organisms. I have a particular love for fungi and I use them in an allegorical way. For me they symbolise the fragility of ecological systems and organisms in a state of crisis, as well as the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Glass is the most magical, ethereal and sublime material and it captures something of the mystery and wonder of the world and life around us. My pieces are sometimes anthropomorphic and playful, at other times abstract and emotionally charged. Very often I explore ideas around corporeality, bodily functions and human health in relation to the health of the planet, life cycles, ageing, growth and decay.

Her work explores the personal, vulnerable and bodily aspects of materiality, through which she establishes a connection between the material, the maker and the audience. Her primary art media is glass which she often combines with performance, installation, ceramics, and printmaking.

I have recently been working on casting its a very long process and I have a lot to learn but am thoroughly enjoying the journey!

My most recent work looks through an introspective lens and embodies her creative process that is influenced by ADHD. This body of work is built intuitively and impulsively and incorporates the use of metal fixings into the glass pieces. My creative process illustrates the behaviours of ADHD, visualising its complexity. My making process is fast, instinctive and curious, resulting in a visual map of her mind externalised and expressed in the installation. Ineffective yet functioning, The Machine is overly complex for its own actions, some routes having dead ends or unresolved pathways.
