It's all about the sea....

I am a believer in “the fundamental interconnectedness of all things” as coined by Douglas Adams. It’s a humorous truth in a world where global urbanisation has moved many of us away from our deep connections with nature. With deep connection - comes a sense of the value and importance of all we are connected to. A connection "not through human attempts to know and manage and control the world but in the encounters that begin when we show up as one kind of creature among many" as so eloquently described by Dougald Hine in 'At Work in the Ruins'. My work is inspired by my underwater experiences, the language of bubbles and the amazing world of sometimes familiar, often strange, marine creatures. I aim to celebrate them with my work whilst bringing attention to the vital roles they often play in sustaining our ocean ecosystems. Through my work, I want to share my passion and hope that, in the words of Rachel Carson, “The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.” 
The creation of my work involves using traditional hot glass techniques, in non-traditional, environmentally sustainable ways, and repurposing objects and materials to create unique, sculptural work. 

My journey into art has come via science and technology. I received my MA in Ceramics and Glass from the Royal College of Art and have exhibited internationally with work in private collections in Australia, China, Europe, the UK and the United States. I have recently moved to west Wales and joined forces with another glassmaker to establish an environmentally sustainable, carbon friendly studio. You can follow our progress in my blog.
