At the moment I’m gathering myself after finishing my course. Thinking about how to proceed. My plan is to gather/ make items that I can sell, build up a stock, and get a place on Etsy.

I am currently working on a project focused on the women leaders shaping 21st-century glass, which aims to identify at least 25 important women leaders shaping the contemporary glass landscape, and to examine how their roles, contributions, and activities are influencing glass. I have been chipping away at this project since 2024 and its official launch took place in Fall 2025, when the Glass Art Society selected my panel proposal for the June 2026 Conference at Corning Museum of Glass. There, I will moderate a discussion on the subject with three contemporary women leaders in glass: Tami Landis, Curator of Postwar and Contemporary Glass at the Corning Museum of Glass, Brandi Clark, Executive Director of GAS, and Dr. Jessamy Kelly, Head of Design and Senior Lecturer in Glass and Ceramics at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA). In the meantime, I am sifting through literature and collecting data through a survey linked through my website.

Current work includes exploring processes for interpreting landscape in glass.

Recently collaborated on a series of sculptures in collaboration with Joy Parker, using found metal and mosaic and kiln formed glass.

I like to experiment mixing techniques especially fused glass, painting and stained glass

The process of making is intrinsic to my practice and I am fascinated by the interface created when glass is used in conjunction with other processes and techniques, for example photography, printmaking and textiles. The endless sculptural possibilities that glass offers, and the diverse range of contradictions inherent within the material fascinate me.
