Located in the heart of England, I use traditional tools, techniques and materials to design, create and restore stained glass.
Originally trained in fashion and textile design; colours and textures have always been a big part of my life.
Creating stained glass pieces is an extension of this and I have been making leaded and foiled pieces for more than 20 years, ever since completing a part time evening course with my dad.
Over the years I have produced a mixture of traditional and contemporary pieces including new commissions and restoration work.
I particularly enjoy selecting the glass for use on each project. I find the vast array of colours, from subtle to intense, completely breathtaking. When I then start holding the sheets of glass up for inspection in the light, the textures create quite mesmerising effects. All that, before I have even cut a single piece to fit my design!
Typically my work has been made for fitting into doors and/or windows. More recently I have also been experimenting with new opportunities to create standalone pieces of stained glass art.
Having the opportunity to create unique pieces for people to enjoy as artwork in their own home gives me great satisfaction.
