Coloured glass components and gemstones ensure I can maintain bright, colourful elements in the pieces. Current collections combine blown glass components with silver, gold, lustres, enamels and faceted stones. I love to juxtapose vivid colours against monochromatic schemes and incorporate intricate detail into the work.

My work is autobiographical – an exploration of the ‘self’ and its positioning in the world.I am currently working on a new body of work exploring the use of sound and combining moving image with my stained glass work.
My work combines photography and glass, using montage, layering and lighting to produce the final pieces. The images are screen printed onto the glass which is then fired, etched and hand painted. Many works are based on photographs documenting significant change in East London over the past several years.
Last year I received a ’Developing Your Creative Practice’ grant from Arts Council England which allowed me to explore new techniques from gilding to core casting. This has had a huge impact on the work I am making now during Covid-19. I have been collecting natural objects gathered on walks and transforming them through the burnout process into tiny unique cast glass sculptures.
