As a contemporary architectural glass artist, I design and create glass art that explores its potential and beneficial uses within architecture and interior spaces. ‘Bringing the outside in often communicates my inspiration by nature which I celebrate and infuse into the glass art with colour, textures, and light. All of my work is hand crafted through a combination of traditional and contemporary techniques for a variety of architectural locations as well as exhibitions.
Initially, I fell in love with glass in my early childhood as both my parents are glass artists. To date I have worked for cathedrals and leading glass studios while invigorating my passion for contemporary glass. I was also honoured to have received the Award for Excellence from the London based Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass.
Living in the marvellous rolling hills of Yorkshire offers constantly changing light and its scenery inspires me each day. Through glass I convey my vision into bespoke pieces that are not only an uplifting compliment to the interior but also an aesthetical element invoking positive feelings with the viewers. Nature is the inexhaustible source of inspiration for most of my designs along with the influence of light, which enables me to capture new ideas and integrate them into a bespoke glass artwork.
I always strive to push boundaries in modern glass art achieving depth, textures, and captivating effects that best convey my visions into bespoke designs. Techniques and processes I love using in my glass art are hand painting, fusing, kiln casting, etching, and precious metals embellishment. All hand painted decorations are fired to glass and along with other techniques, the art is weather friendly and permanent with the potential to last for many centuries.
