Fused Glass

Glass hooked me in during my very first studio visit and more than decade later it is still just as thrilling. It is pure magic!!!

Artists often reference their surroundings as major influences upon their work, and this is true for me. I have lived along the North Devon coastline for the last fifteen years, just recently settling in Ilfracombe. My time walking the dog, wild swimming and raising my children as keen surfers and sailors’ means that there’s a great deal of aqua glass, seascapes and sea themed shapes, particularly in the summer months.

During the spring and autumn my work is all about flowers…. real ones, bonkers made-up bright coloured ones, some in pots, some in meadows, anything goes! Making flowers is very delicate work and it’s a great change for me.

When the winter rolls around, my work bench is full of Christmas. Every year I make ‘serious’ decorations, but I have a love for googly eyes, especially crossed ones – so there’s lots to choose from but they fit firmly in the fun category!

I look forward to inviting you to my home studio, I hope you enjoy viewing my work at this exhibition.
