A Contemporary Artist in Glass and Paint

I have been melting glass in a kiln for 20 years, and it still fascinates me to keep exploring what can be done by changes of temperature and timing. Then I find myself cold working, with a drill, a saw, a flat bed polisher, a lathe and a small dremel drill. All this and then the layering, the colour mixes, the surfaces and of course, with glass, the way light moves through the interior depths. No wonder the story continues.......

And more recently I have been having adventures in mixed media painting on canvas, paper and panels. A whole series of pieces that are now being exhibited alongside my artglass. I work in series to really work through a theme or mood. I build layers of paint with brushwork and mono-printing, building up and taking away to allow the painting to unfold
