New Artists and reviews
My artistic practice is rooted in drawing and how this direct artistic expression documents and communicates my own emotional processes. I translate these two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional glass sculptures though a series of carving techniques I have developed over the past five years.
I was shortlisted for the Ashurst Emerging Artists Prize in 2019, has taken part in two residencies in Stockholm and Edinburgh and has exhibited globally, with particular highlight being Emerge Bullseye 2018.
My current work for celebrates the history and beauty of traditional patchwork quilts through blown glass using murrine. These pieces also highlight the reflective and refractive qualities of the glass.
I also work in collaboration with blacksmith Beth Horsley-Frost to create pieces combining forged or folded metal elements with blown glass.
I now sell only through galleries and h/Art, a yearly open studio event where I demonstrate and sell. My current work is embarking glass heads in steel boats.
In July 2020 I was a winning artist on the BBC’s ‘Home is Where the The Art Is’ with my glass screen ‘Changing Seasons’.
In 2019 my glass pictures were part of the CGS ‘Glorious Glass’ exhibitions at St Helens and Aylesbury.
I take commissions for windows for houses and boats. My work is featured on several award-winning narrowboats. Recently, I was filmed for the TV programme ‘My Floating Home’, completing commissioned windows for the concert boat ‘Rachmaninov’.
Recent notable commissions have been the design and fabrication of three new stained glass windows for St Philips Church, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. All windows in Golford Chapel, Cranbrook, Kent.
