I’ve always been fascinated by glass, its translucence, its myriad possibilities with colour. After a long career in business, I jumped at the chance to explore my creativity when I met the wonderful glass artist Anthony McIntosh. Working with fused glass, he has encouraged and mentored me and I am now fortunate enough to be a member of Horsham Artists.
My aim is to showcase the natural beauty of glass and to bring colour into everyday life by creating functional items that will give lasting pleasure: from salad bowls to trinket dishes, mirrors to coasters and platters to pendants. I’m always seeking new ideas, both in colour and style, which are often informed by my love of travel. Buildings, artwork, landscapes and architecture from foreign countries can spark off ideas for whole new collections. Also, design and fashion trends, both past and present, provide a wealth of creative inspiration.
