ARTIST'S STATEMENT
A new piece of work always begins for me with walking, looking and drawing.  Inspiration comes from my immediate environment, and my work is strongly influenced by the time I spend out of doors.
I also get ideas during the process of making, and from experimenting with materials.  I originally began to work in glass so that I could include refractive pieces in my hanging sculptures and mobiles, which were made mostly out of wood and metal. I then found myself increasingly drawn to the contradictions of glass: it is solid, yet it captures the changes of the light, and with it I like to achieve subtle internal effects similar to those in watercolour, but so much more vibrant. In my sculptural pieces I also love to explore the contrast between materials, especially the clarity and ethereal qualities of glass against the earthiness of wood.

ARTIST'S BACKGROUND
I have been working in kiln-formed glass since 2001.  My personal work tends to be sculptural and mostly cast, but with a background in watercolour painting, I also enjoy working to commission, creating large-scale installations for homes and businesses. ​
