Biography
After a couple of difficult and unsettled years with loosing family members and health issues, it's my mission this year to get my studio practice back on track.
We finally got married in October last year, 2025 is going to be my/our year. I'm feeling very positive about the future, it's time to develop my creative business.
I have already sorted out two new locations to exhibit for Warwickshire Open Studios Summer Art Weeks, I want to expose my artworks to new and wider audiences.
When I had my commercial studio and gallery spaces, I reduced taking part in exhibitions, events and galleries to showcase my work. Now that my studio is back at home, I have more time and freedom to get my artworks out there again.
inspiration
The inspiration for my artworks are always a blend of many different things. It really depends who I am designing and creating them for?
If it's for a commission and I am working to a client's brief, my work could be inspired by anything, from trucks, architecture or Haiku?
When I am in the studio creating my own work, the inspiration can come from my photography, post modern artists or satellite imagery of landscapes. A running theme is that my designs are very linear, bold patterns and abstract.
medium
I specialise in kiln-formed glass processes, all my work is handmade. I only use 'Bullseye' glass materials to make my artworks, as it's the best fusing glass on the market.
Within Contemporary Craft circles, I am known for using 1mm glass stringers (rods) to create my designs, I don't just use a few here and there, my whole design is made up of them.
Sometimes I will use other glass materials, such as frits, powders, dichroic and hand cut sheet glass within my designs, but I always come back to using stringers. I just love working with them, as they are so intricate and the effects created are stunning.
In my latest collections I am experimenting with creating my work within moulds in the kiln, I looking forward to seeing how this process progresses.
