ABOUT THE ARTIST:
My work has been described as magical realism. I love colour but try to use it in a subtle way. My surroundings, how I feel within them and the people that I know are my inspiration. Birds often appear in my work but the longer I live in this beautiful area the more they are being replaced by deer and other forest creatures.
My stained glass takes the form of ‘illustrated’ lights, small panels and lidded boxes. They are in essence, a glass form of my paintings. I love the combination of the two disciplines and the way they constantly play with one another. Sometimes the paintings lead to glass and sometimes the other way around.
