The urge to create has been with me all my life. Throughout childhood, then exploring my creative vocabulary at Art College and now in adulthood my memories and thoughts are occupied by texture, form and colour. I am strongly influenced by natural forms and captivated by the Sussex coastline and the seemingly random, ever changing and minute details of pattern and marks left behind by natural forces. Glass provides an inexhaustible source of creative possibilities through a combination of: light, colour, texture, technique and collaboration. It can be both technically demanding and spontaneous but iridescence is its magical characteristic.My training and experience have involved all aspects of ecclesiastical glass work through to contemporary approaches to glass. Combining my knowledge of these techniques and my experiences of nature I aim to produce pieces which transform a space or view.
