His work involves two representational concepts; one around the natural power behind thought, human nature, and how the subconscious is woven into this equation and relationship. And another, an evolution of technique representing nature, life, energy, and movement; gathered upon over and over again to make the internal twisting more encased inside clear glass to form an aesthetic of maelstroms in water.

I studied Architecture and Glass at Central St Martins because I thought I needed to get some experience with commissions. Whilst there I created nest sculptures employing found objects and glass. At present I am working on a mural on the theme of athletes; my aim is to bring my gestural paintings into my glass practice.My aim would be to do a hospital or church piece but I am content in doing diverse work meantime such as school commissions and eccentric machines involving glass
“In every piece of glasswork I do, drawing always comes first”
Glass gives my illustrative work an almost magical dimension
A strong sense of line is important together with the play on silhouette shape, shadows
and light
I enjoy ‘hiding’ imagery in my drawings, encouraging you to look more closely

I am following two interlinked paths. The first being my love of flora, fauna and fabrics – the start of my creative journey – introduced by my mother from a very young age. The second being my love of gardening and my work for the past 23 years, during this time I was bequeathed a small sum from a client which bought my first kiln and grinder. I owe lot to both of these ladies, neither are with me any longer but both continue to inspire me to this day.
My current practice involves the use of techniques of stained glass, glass blowing and cold working. Part of my inspiration comes from the working process with material that allows me to embody my ideas through layers, color and light. I am drawn to the qualities of glass as a medium that offers me an almost unlimited number of ways to express myself as an artist. It can be shaped both hot and cold using a wide range of traditional and experimental methods.
My work is strongly influenced by nature and the various cultures I have been fortunate enough to immerse myself in. I am interested in how our experiences shape our personality and make us unique.
My training in tissue and sub-cellular morphologies provides an endless source of inspiration. My work focuses on pathology and aims to convey aspects of the detailed infrastructure of our bodies, the dialogue we have with nature, as well as the sinister beauty of detrimental transformations.
