Originally from New Zealand and raised in Hong Kong, I first discovered glass in 1995 through an evening class in Adelaide, Australia—and was instantly captivated. That early spark led to a City & Guilds qualification in the UK, which laid the groundwork for a commercial stained-glass practice. Over time, I taught myself fusing techniques and ran a successful glass studio, deepening my skills through hands-on experience.

​

Fast foward 30 years into my practice, I returned to study as a mature student—completing a BA (Hons) in Glass and Ceramics at UCA Farnham in 2025. That decision has marked a turning point, opening up new ways of thinking and making, and allowing me to push the boundaries of my work in fresh, contemporary directions whilst preserving my heritage roots.

​

My practice now blends heritage stained-glass methods with modern techniques such as lampworking, fusing, and casting. Recent work explores the integration of three-dimensional cast forms into stained glass panels—bringing sculptural presence and subtle innovation to a traditionally two-dimensional medium.

​

Based in Bognor Regis, my studio is where commissions take shape, limited collections are created, and workshops are held for those curious about the expressive possibilities of glass. My work is held in both public and private collections worldwide.   Whether creating a bespoke panel or sculpting in glass, my aim is always to make something that resonates—quietly, clearly, and with lasting beauty.
