Having reacently found the elusive process for creating organic vessel forms in a kiln, I am now on the start of a journey into translating my process of creating textured panels into a vessel shape. Interpreting the lanscapes around me into colourations within my nature based forms. Embracing the serendipitous nature of colour control to create wonderful one off sculptures. 2023 is going to be an exciting voyage of discovery.

I use drawing, hand cut stencil techniques and sand carving to create one off pieces of glass art. Blown by Colin Hawkins, my vessels and forms are made from Crystal with either colour overlays or blown colour. Much of my current work is made to commission or for exhibition
Pronouns She/Her
As a mixed media artist, I create installations, sculpture and digital art centered on the idea of impermanence and how it relates to our contemporary human condition. I utilize geometric and abstracted forms of Light, shape, space, movement, and sound to challenge people’s perspective. Incorporating interactive elements into my art allows me to create a specific encounter with the viewer. This encounter is meant to engage and activate a visceral and physical awareness that looks into different facets of the human psyche. I strive to develop an internal and external dialogue of collective identity and awareness by intersecting our spaces of existence within the unknown. The unknown are voids and spaces that we get glimpses of which exist but are not defined. These are the spaces of intrigue and infinite possibility.
Interactive glass puppets Inspired by Mexico’s cultural traditions known as Mojigangas
The inspiration in my work comes from many areas of my life, my architectural training being the basis for my observation of the world around me and informing form and structure in my work.
Light and colour are vital to my work, how they interact with the physical plain is the question that I continually strive to answer.
I am currently working on a project where I have illustrated The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. This forms the basis for my exploration in glass of love, power, sexuality and the human soul.

FROM FIGURATIVE TO ABSTRACTION
The moment before, frozen and ephemeral, the human emotion contained and the creation of a galaxy in the making….Human psyche / Universe.
A dialogue between representational art on paper and canvas and abstract art with sculptures made of glass paste on paper, fused in sand. Symbiotic theme and mediums for two distinct techniques.
I generally create my work using kiln formed fused glass and copper foiling techniques as well as some traditional stained glass pieces. I’ve done a little hot glass works and love the speed at which you need to work to create form and structure.
I have been fortunate enough to work on a collaborative fused glass window within a local Primary school, where every child and teacher contributed to the piece sited within the main school hall.
