I made these fused glass pieces for the top table at a friends wedding summer 2008.

Some other examples of my work 2000-08

Sample panel - experiementing with two separate designs: one in lead and one in paint

The ideas behind this panel was to create a design from an abstract collage of a lily flower. I was also experimenting with form and texture of the paint. This added to the multiple layering of images through the choice of colour of glass, line of the lead, the balance of opacity and translucency, and use of visual techniques ie. colourful border.

This panel design is a section from a longer story board of the Gospel form the Bible. The glass is painted and leaded.

This is a large panel made for St. Mary's church in Bridgend, Wales. The glass is traditionally stained, painted and leaded. The subject is Jesus as the Good Shepherd laying his life down for the sheep (his people).

This panel is a sample for Swansea library using enamel paints symbolising the flow of creative learning.

It now has a home at The C of E BeaconPrimary School, Exmouth

This panel was inspired by birds in flight along an estuary (price guide - £75)

2004 Leaded Light Commission

This is a commission for a house in Bristol above a bathroom door. My client wanted to have hidden fishes, darting in the design-I loved creating this sense of mystery within the design. I think it added something; giving the impression of moving light within the glass, a spacial depth. (Guide Price £550)

The Good Shepherd

Coloured Glass, Paint and Lead
250mm x 250mm

This sample panel is taken from a design intended to replace east facing church window in St Mary's church,Wales. The theme of this commission was chosen to fit in with the rural situation of the church and the surrounding farming community. The good shepherd theme originates from Bible scripture in John's gospel and the Psalms.

"I am the good shepherd who is willing to die for the sheep ... there are other sheep which belong to me that are not in the sheep fold. I must bring them, too; they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock with one shepherd. The father loves me because I am willing to give up my life, in order that I may receive it back again. No one takes my life from me. I give it up of my own free will."
John 10v11,16-18 (GNB)

Patience

Coloured Glass, Paint and Lead
1: 250mm x 250mm
2: 600mm x 400mm




These two sample panels are part of a large glass wall designed to separate the cafeteria of Leeds city art gallery from the gallery space itself.
The theme is the ongoing process of creativity. This serves as background scenery as people are relaxing, drinking their coffee in the cafeteria.
As natural light is limited, I have used pastel colours, fluid lead lines and reflective grooves in the glass.
