Making sparkling work is a wonderful way to celebrate the depth, texture, and magic of light. Glitter has been used as a decorative component for many centuries, but in the 1960s the experimental glitter art of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, set the fashion, music and art scenes a twinkle.

My artistic journey encapsulates my childhood fascination with the glitz and classic glamour of female Hollywood movie stars, combined with my experience of devotional Catholic icons.

I am focused on encouraging the viewer to see the beauty and joy in each piece and experience uniquely the interplay of reflective light, which I find to be magical.

As a manner of expressing myself, making glittering art is a joyful and a creative experience that I hope you will also connect to. I look forward to meeting you in my home.
