About

I am fascinated by how light captures form and brings it to life, changing with the seasons, the day or even moment by moment. In this respect working with glass has been a natural progression of 25 years practising as an architect.

With architecture I work with my clients on creating sustainable design through considering the experience of being in a space, the connections with the outside world and how the building sits in its environment, with glass however colour also becomes an integral dimension that infuses the design with life and lifts the spirit.

I design and make fused/kiln formed glass vessels, tiles and panels as well as contemporary stained glass some of which has been incorporated into schools, private houses and other buildings I have designed. Inspiration comes from nature, poetry/lyrics, the people I work with and using glass to express human emotions or relationships.

I mainly works to commission and this can include working with groups of pupils from Primary through to Secondary age to look at glass design and also work with the pupils on some finished pieces.
