New Glass Vase January 26, 2019 00:00
I spent the middle part of my creative career making sandblasted glass vases. Hand cutting stencils and taking them to a local factory to be sandblasted in their machine - always coming home with less that I went with due to breakages! Very annoying.
I’ve recently been looking at my older work as I had to make a presentation for a job, and I’m interested in designing and making a new collection of glass vases. Just a limited amount for a limited time.
Heres the first one the new collection. It’s under my products heading.
New Lighthouse Paper Cut January 22, 2019 09:51

Surface Design December 14, 2018 11:59
I’ve recently had to make a presentation of my work and its interesting looking back to see what I’ve done over the years. It’s a useful excercise as it helps to see the direction that my work has taken. I’ve always thought I may be a bit too flighty as I’ve chosen not to stick to just one medium over my career, but it’s made me realise that I am a surface designer. It doesn’t actually matter what the surface is or the process that I choose as it’s the design work that’s my signature.
Chopping Boards December 13, 2018 15:35
Ive used my chopping boards as decoration in my kitchen. And, what’s more, they make perfect place mats for my wooden table!

I enjoy working with my hands and digitally and this image is derived from one of my collages and then recoloured on my computer. I do like the nice sharp lines and the flat colour!
Collage November 29, 2018 11:00
I just love cutting and sticking paper to make interesting compositions with colour and shape. The paper I’m using is a mixture of pre coloured and screenprinted in hand cut and machine cut shapes.
In this piece I’ve decided to work with a very limited colour palette. I’m struggling to contain myself but I’m determined to only use tones and shades of about 5 colours!

Its now 2 days since our open house event and I’m still in recovery!! It was sooo busy and it was amazing to have so much support from our local community. A huge thank you to all the artists for their work, DNA for the live harp and fiddle music, The Ale House for the bar, the Gluten-Free Baking Company for the cakes and to everyone who came.
Here are some images from the event

I've just been on a road trip delivering work to galleries in Wales and Stratford upon Avon. I was so lucky to choose a very warm and sunny couple of days in October. It was sooo beautiful.

Every day I walk along the coastal past Langland Beach, past these colourful beach huts and palm trees and onwards towards Caswell. I never ever get tired of the view

Brand New Cut Out August 24, 2018 17:47
I love this little spot on the wall by my window with the hanging plant, and the light is perfect for taking photographs of my new floral work
Wild Flowers on the Wall August 21, 2018 22:34
I’m gradually filling my house up with plants and I’m particularly fond of this hanging pot near the window
