The Garden is an important addition to your home and a reflection of your lifestyle. Why not add colour, energy and movement to your garden by incorporating a one-off piece of architectural glass art?

movement adding extra surfaces to the glass, but I am also interested in the processes of manipulating glass and how this contributes texturally to the design, adding tactile dimensions. At the same time I look at how metal can be used to give a supporting or framing strength to the design ensuring that its use is an amalgamated part of the overall design.

It is also important to me that if I am working on a design for a specific setting that I create a design appropriate to the site without holding any preconceived ideas of the type of processes to be used to realise it. The finished design dictates the processes used.

I would like the viewer to take from my work whatever they want, so I am reluctant to make statements about it which would direct the viewer's thoughts too much. I feel I am very fortunate to be working in the exciting mediums of glass and metal.

I am passionate about their qualities, textures and the way they respond to light by creating shadows and beams of colour. I am also enthusiastic about their many uses from architectural buildings, to art objects, to sculptural structures.
