I am an artist and designer who works with glass to provide bespoke artworks, full of light and colour, that enhance both public spaces and private residential settings.
Inspired by pupils working on the achaeological dig at the site. See Projects
I use the specific architectural context as a starting point to design works that suit the space, creating vibrant pieces for both contemporary and traditional sites.
I really enjoy working closely with my clients and have made pieces for schools, colleges, the church, architectural projects, art galleries and many, many private clients.
Architects: Hayson, Ward and Miller
I am professionally trained in art and design and in all techniques of stained glass, restoration and hot glass making. With over 30 years experience and scores of commissions. I will often employ a range of technical approaches such as etching, blasting, fusing, embossing as well as the traditional methods of stained glass to achieve an artwork that is visually aesthetic and richly layered.
Inspired by drawings by pupils at the school 2013
