Biography
I enjoy being creative and have channelled this into various projects in my life. When an accident left me unable to continue with my usual work I decided to take up my interests again and completed a course in Art and Design at the University of Lincoln. This, unexpectedly, led to a 3 year 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 Honors 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 corporate business and personal requests. I enjoy creating individual pieces for special occasions or one-off gifts and my work has gone as far afield as Australia, New York, Monaco and Prague.
My site-specific sculpture was positioned in the foyer of the local city council building for many years. I provide several pieces for craft and retail outlets and enjoy exhibiting in galleries throughout the year, by myself and with the groups I belong to. Details of these can be found on the Events page.
I like to explore new designs and techniques - the images on this site will give you an idea of my work. Most are available to purchase so please feel happy to contact me if you wish to discuss any of the pieces shown or have a request for a new commission.

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 very good impression as you approach from the main entrance and, of course, considering the Roman inspiration, could not be in a more suitable position.’
