​My exhibition centres on the love of animals we all share. We all have a favourite whether it's wild, domestic, or even imagery.
What compels me to embrace animals/birds/insects in my work? A visiting Kingfisher, a photo of a much-loved dog, the cat that wanders into the garden and the butterflies that dance thorough the flowers.
All inspiration to capture them in the wonderful art of glass.

My awakening to glass as an option in art was making glass beads in 2016. This opened a world of glass as an art form, Blown, Fused, and Cast .
I loved that Fused Glass could be formed into many guises. Bowls to pictures, wearable to garden art, sculpture to whimsical. Limited only by imagination.
In 2019 I bought a second hand glass kiln, was given a firing schedule and taught myself this most absorbing and beautiful art.
The excitement of opening the kiln in the morning never has never left me, I doubt it ever will.
