Profile

"I aim to produce work which 'lives' in its' situation. The key elements in the design process are consultation with the client and the 'personality' of the architecture itself.
The beauty of the handmade glass I use combined with the infinite variety of glass painting effects are a joy to work with - I hope the love of it can be seen in my art!"
