Winter Porch Panel
After a few years of designing & making in between other work, I completed placing this in my porch door. It’s symbolic of my family - it’s a bit of a cliche; Home is where the heart is

Summer Exhibition
Big shout out to the Lost and Found initiative for inviting me to exhibit my new coastal themed glass panels, as part of a Local exhibition at John Lewis in Exeter recently.
They are now currently at the Exeter Lost & Found gallery: https://www.lostandfoundart.co.uk/pages/about-exeter
The panels also raise awareness of local ecology on the Exe river :https://tidelines.uk/

Once upon a time...
I subsequently wrote a study about how mythological narrative was evident in three works of art; one of which was a John Piper window at Coventry Cathedral.
Lockdown Commission 2020
Courses
- ancient leading craft,
- etching

School Memorial Window
The theme is movement, sun, sea and boats. I have tried to convey this through the use of the lead lines and bold colours.

My Latest Commission -wood and glass sculpture!
My husband and I installed this sculpture on the 9th August 2009, funded by the Lottery Commission.
This community project was a year in the planning and making, together with staff and volunteers Aylesbury Youth Action. We were finally relieved for it to find its home in the sensory garden of Aylesbury's " The Grove" respite home, Buckinghamshire.
The brief from the young people using the home:
*glass framed using natural resources
*bright colours
*shapes that were circular/curvy/arches/meandering
*textures that rippled and bubbled
*to work with the sound of wind chimes/running water/rustle of leaves in the trees near by
*possible themes: the journey of water through leaves/trees, the fun in how nature moves, our relationship with nature.
