"I love to experiment with different arts and crafts. I like to combine my paintings, with lots of different colours, media and materials including, acrylics, pastels, paper, collage and anything that gives a fantastic colour combination, texture and style. My art is an expression of my own deep thoughts and imagination that combines with dreams and exploration of the mind and the soul.
At present, my work combines with three dimensional forms of art and I work with glass that allows me to feel and see my pieces from every angle bringing light, colour and life.
My first work with glass was to create pieces in stained glass but I wanted to design something different that I could wear, admire and share with other people. Glass fusing and flamework allows me to combine many forms of art by fusing, slumping, melting and giving shapes.
It is an amazing feeling working with glass to produce these stylish modern pieces, each extremely unique and with its own individual style and identity. The styles cannot be reproduced, just like art or a painting. No two pieces are ever the same.
When my fused glass and flamework pieces are "born" each piece gives me the strength and the hope of life that is unknown. I feel my pieces transfer this positive energy to the people who appreciate and own my work.
One of my regular customers wrote to me and said ‘...your pieces take the shape and colour of my soul as I wear them. It gives me natural energy and that energy is transposed to the viewer and becomes a conversation piece. Thanks to your work, I make friends every day.'
