Fused Glass
My current work mainly utilises the colours and textures of glass fusing materials and techniques as a fine art medium, an intuitive and painterly response to an image or drawing, further enhanced by the surprises created during the glass firing process.
Fundamental to this process are my landscape drawings in charcoal and pastel, which provide the inspiration and starting point for my glass work, and become pieces of art in their own right.
Favourite inspirational locations of mine are South Devon, West Cornwall and the South Downs.
I have a background in Art and Design including a BA (Hons) Design degree, with a career working in Design and then teaching Textiles and Art.
I ran Artworks, an independent art studio for 18 years, before taking the recent decision to focus solely on my work as a glass artist
