I'm an experienced artist, working across the fields of painting, print and fused glass, with works exhibited in London and New York. I love working with glass in particular, as it gives a tactile feeling that's often missing in this increasingly digital world.
I can't wait to share my skills and experience with you, helping you to create beautiful fused glass art of your own!
