ARTIST'S STATEMENT I make expressive kiln-formed glass pieces which have a painterly quality to them. Starting with sheets of float glass I use inclusions of precious metal leaf and wire to ‘draw’ within the glass. When the glass is heated in the kiln this magical alchemy produces a distinctive palette of subtle colours. My work is strongly influenced by the time I spent printmaking at college and the limited colour palette I achieve gives an elegant simplicity to the images.

ARTIST'S BACKGROUND
After a career in teaching I discovered kiln-formed glass on an art foundation course and was immediately captivated by the process. I spent three years studying 3D glass at Richmond College and now I work in my garden studio in central Oxford and exhibit widely.
I open my studio to the public every May during Oxfordshire Artweeks and am also an exhibiting member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and the Oxford Art Society.
