I design and make contemporary glass art from concept to installation for a variety of different markets. I use kiln work techniques to create one off artworks and architectural installations that have a handmade character. I only use ‘Bullseye’ glass materials within my work for its vibrant colours and outstanding quality. I am based at The Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham’s creative hub. My studio is open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday.
​
My black and white photography of modern architecture often initiates research and my studio practice has developed by utilising these images. I am inspired by the works of modern painters such as Mondrian and Rothko for their use of bold and vivid colours. The abstract nature of my art is a fusion of all these factors.
​
My award winning artworks ‘A Fine Line’ are my latest designs and are featured in ‘Vogue’s Contemporary Collection’. These artworks are constructed with 1mm and 2mm glass stringers to create geo-metric patterns and abstract imagery. The relationship between glass, light and space is a key element in my studio practice. By using both transparent and opaque glass I can experiment with the transmitted and reflective light created by each piece of art.
