Biography
I have always enjoyed being creative and channelled this into various projects, caring for my children during the day and working late shifts in the evenings. When an accident left me unable to continue with that work I decided to take up my interests again and completed a part time course in Art and Design at the University of Lincoln. This, unexpectedly, led to a full time BA Hons degree course in Contemporary Decorative Crafts where I was encouraged to work with a variety of media and quickly become infatuated with the magic of glass. I was delighted to graduate with 1st Class Honours plus gain a subsequent commission from the RSWT which gave me the confidence to set up my own workshop.
My Work
I have completed commissions for several projects, working with clients to produce unique designs for both corporate business and personal requests. I also enjoy creating individual pieces for special occasions or one-off gifts and some of my work has gone as far afield as Australia, New York and Praque.
I have a site-specific sculpture permanently positioned in the foyer of my local city council building, various pieces in craft and retail outlets and I enjoy exhibiting in galleries throughout the year, details of which can be found on the Events page.
I am constantly developing my designs and exploring new ideas and the images on this site are previously completed examples to give you an idea of my work. They may not all be available to purchase but please feel happy to contact me if you wish to discuss any of the pieces shown or ideas for commissions.

Quote from the Public Arts officer
‘The sculpture is entirely appropriate for the venue. I think we have become accustomed in our own minds to associating recycling with putting bottles in bottle banks, but this will help make people take another look at what recycling means and what it can be turned into. The piece makes a good impression as you approach from the main entrance and, of course, considering the Roman inspiration, could not be in a more suitable position.’
