The Artist

When I was young I remember enjoying the beauty of stained glass church windows. I loved the light passing through ornamental glass at home. I adore the reflective qualities of the light that create colours and patterns in and beyond the glass surface.
 
I started working with glass in 2006. I then studied with Hereford College of Arts. Post –graduation I have continued to develop my knowledge networking with other glass artists. Different methods have also been learnt or existing ones enhanced with a number of professional development courses.
 
I am a member of Herefordshire Art & Craft Society and Shropshire Guild of Contemporary Craft. I was accepted for Made by Hand in Cardiff in 2016.
