Profile
I started my artistic career at an early age with the sometimes difficult medium of mud on self, a couple of decades later and I’m still unable to keep any cleaner during the creative process.
Having expanded my palette of materials over that time, there’s very little that doesn’t appear with the glass I’ve been trained to sculpt, including textile, metal, wood and always those quirky found objects that you just can’t bear to part with. Consequently, the resulting sculpture always attempts to retain elements of the familiar as well as presenting various themes with a new twist and a little of the ridiculous.
Having said that, my jewellery ranges in stained and flameworked glass have always been my attempt at sophisticated elegant design with custom orders and individual bead making lessons being the most rewarding to deliver.
