Glass Jewellery Artist

I am a glass jewellery artist using traditional lamp working skills in a non traditional manner and being self taught,
I set my own boundaries.

As well as making solid and hollow glass beads, I create unique components by sculpting the glass directly onto wires rather than using the more traditional on or off mandrel techniques. Using silver or copper wire, I combine the glass with mixed media elements to create one of a kind pieces of jewellery and sculpture.

Colour is an important element in my work, using the transparent and opaque glass to evoke something of the fragile qualities of nature.
