Biography

My mission is to become the best independent glass artist that I can be and to share my passion for glass with other artists and people who are interested in giving glass making a try.
I do not have a vision for a big business. I hand make everything personally and intend to keep making a limited product range of hand made and hand painted glass.
I am constantly learning and trying new techniques, introducing glass tapestry to my range in 2022 and jewellery in 2023. I have a vision of bringing a new display and range of glass to AITP this year if selected.

inspiration

I continue to be inspired by the ocean and natural world, with much of my work representing seascapes and tree scapes. This theme has continued with my glass jewellery making.
I am one of a few artists who also paint, and so I enjoy creating fused glass wall art which is hand painted.
I am also inspired to create work that is 'different'. I do not create floral glass, stained or blown glass and my style of fused glass in contemporary, with a preferred simplicity.

medium

I work with warm glass techniques rather than hot glass (blown glass). This means that I create my designs using cold glass, and I paint on cold glass. My designs are then fused during kiln firings with various programming, depending on the work and desired effect. If I want to create a shape to my glass it is re-fired and slumped over ceramic moulds.
My glass work may be smooth or textured, flat or shaped. I use many different inclusions, frits, rods, enamel paints, metals and different glass - opaque, transparent, dichroic, art to create different designs. I make wall art, freestanding pieces, homewares and jewellery.
I favour a colour palette of blues and greens and contemporary whites and greys, but create in reds and purples for Christmas/Winter ranges
