New Artists and reviews
Drawing on a huge variety of both mouth-blown, machine-made and fused glass techniques, I juxtapose textures, tones, light and colour to create vivid, dynamic stained glass. All my commissioned work is the result of a tried and tested design process. Occassionaly I offer trainee positions in the studio and short courses.
I use a technique of making images from glass mediums & firing it in layers, in a kiln, to create one-off Glass Art images, with surfaces that are raised, tactile & highly reflective.
“When I make a repeat design, I change it by making a different view or change the colour combinations to keep it fresh & to evolve my designs.
Kiln Formed Glass – I work to commission making large Panels of Glass & Triptychs; interjecting the clients chosen themes & colour combination into the design.
New For 2021; Sculptural Cast Glass “Body Works” & Personalised Cast Glass Sculptures.
During lockdown, through the CGS Zoom meetings I was introduced to different methods, of making glass, of which I never thought I could do. I have now added to my repertoire, Signed – Limited Editions Cast Glass Sculptures & Personalised Cast Glass Footprints or Hand prints…
My Group, of Artists: The ‘Take Five Artists Group’, started working together in 2018. We are a diversified group, being, we all work in different mediums and for May 2023 we will be exhibiting at the ST Albans Museum… alongside the Sustainability Market. The theme is based on my kiln work, ‘Earths Seven Natural Elements’ & ‘The Periodic Table of Elements as Conceptual & Abstract Glass Art.
” Very exciting, because my Cast Glass sculptures will be displayed alongside the Museums Ancient Roman Artefacts of: Fired Clay – Cast Glass – Bronze.
My work is often inspired by my surroundings – sheep filled meadows, the sun setting over the brow of the hill whilst the woodland owls call to each other, coastal scenes which evoke images of carefree seaside holidays … each piece designed to bring a smile to your face.
