KILN FUSED GLASS: Landscapes, Jewellery, Objects
Fused glass, with its ephemeral, magical, alchemical properties seems the perfect medium to reflect the space and beauty of the environment and the body.
Glass is a mysterious substance though – it feels solid but is breakable; it’s fragile but can do damage; it protects but also reveals; it can be coloured and transformed but maintains its integrity.

PORTRAITS: Paintings, Memorial and Celebratory Images
My degree show focussed on painted portraits of older people on canvas, as well as experimenting with transferring and fusing copies of these images onto glass to produce memorial and celebratory objects.
This led me to a more explicitly personal exploration of the changes my mother and I have experienced over the years, as a visual story in a series of Mother Daughter lightboxes. These map universal themes of aging, leaving home, memories…

I now live in Cambridge UK, enjoying life as a visual artist, reflecting on life’s surprises, playing the violin, learning the mandolin and ambling in the countryside with friends.

Kerrie works on both private and public commissions, and restoration work throughout Ireland.

My practice is a reflection of my current state, the environment I am in.
I am interest in the subtle human emotions and trying to incorporate these into my work.

Some of my recent projects featured below are: Autumn’s Glow – A recent backlit wall art, commissioned for a home in South Yorkshire. Lady Ocean – A fused glass piece hand painted with vitreous enamels created for the British Society of Master Glass Painters Centenary Touring Exhibition. Other recent projects I immensely enjoyed working on was the designing and fabrication of a large Stained Glass Triptych for a private Library in London and a glass roundel for Lord Eatwel, a professor and President of Queens’ College, Cambridge.
