I produce fused glass pieces for the garden and home. As a garden designer I take my inspiration from the gardens and plants that I work with.

Recently created a canal boat window as a commission, along with a Welsh Dragon for myself, composed of 26 pieces fused to a White background measuring ~ 80 cms x 55 cms. Currently working on a four panel Leaded glass pyramid ~ 60 x 60 cms square x 120 cms tall, and casting coloured Ammonites.

My recent work is still strongly inspired by the properties of glass its self- looking at the optical qualities and using them to create dynamic and exciting pieces.

I make work about the cycle of nature using kiln cast glass and hot manipulation.

.Most of the glass work I have done so far has been for architectural site specific commissions. All ten windows in a church in Canada, a window in Belfast City Hall, commissioned by D.H.S.S.,a glass and stainless steel sculpture in Musgrave Park Hospital, In Norfolk I have completed 3 large sculpture commissions in Mundesley, Holt Country Park and Kelling Heath.

Joanna elegantly fuses ancient techniques with her individual and powerfully charged contemporary abstract style and enjoys translating a drawn image into glass, using paint stains and sandblasting to create areas where light will play and dance with texture.
She is currently working on 3 very different windows and doors for French houses.
And runs courses in stained glass and fused glass.
