Corner Cottage, The Street, Boxgrove, near Chichester – view, commission and buy from me at my studio – do contact me on 07873 583 449 to arrange a time to visit.

The piece of window art shown here is one of many designed pieces of A3 sized glass art. I am working on larger pieces of glass and am in the process of up-cycling a glass-topped table and will add to my site very soon. Watch this space!!!

My presence in the Cathedral brought with it, several fabulous commissions, all of which are now happily with their owners; a plate with the 7 dress designs submitted for a Masters Degree for my client’s grand-daughter ,

a glass panel with cross defined by mosaic corners – this piece commissioned as a gift to celebrate a family member becoming a Pastor in Switzerland,

The bowl shown below is a gift for a lady who loves lilies, silver and blues. This particular image shows 3 of the 4 windmills in this design, each one representing a grandchild, with their initial delicately painted. .

I was invited to exhibit within the Arundel Gallery Trail last year and joined both Open Houses in Hove during May and December. It was great to be part of the Christmas festivities, attending the Arundel Castle, The Weald & Downland Museum and Stansted House Christmas fayres – I received many commissions and met up with previous clients who have been following my success to date! Great to see you again!

I have drawn much inspiration from lovely conversations last year and am looking forward to getting started again now, after a relaxing break.

I will continue creating large glass bowl designs and am now creating a design for a glass topped table, up-cycling (as I think it’s referred to now!) and giving it a new lease of life. I have great ideas for window art and am working on a project that creates wonderfully detailed designs for glass windows. Also glass plaques for regimental crests and family coats of arms and a Richard III crown design.

A new restaurant – Basmati – has opened in Westergate – I am working on a design for a large piece of wall art for the reception area.

So, another busy year ahead and it’s only 30th January. Exciting times!!!

Thanks for visiting my site!

Stansted House, Rowlands Castle, Hampshire, PO9 6DX – I can be found in the Blue Room on the ground floor – last year was my first year at this wonderful venue and I look forward to another great time this year. This is such a successful event which really gets me in the mood for Christmas!

Weekends of 26th/27th November and 3rd/4th December – Brighton and Hove Open House Art Trail. I will be found at The Polish and Pin venue in Wilbury Gardens, Hove. Timings to follow. This is my third time at this venue and my second Christmas. This venue is lovely, all artists’ work use recycled materials, creating wonderful art.

Its possible that I may have other events in December, however, usually I am working on commissioned pieces in readiness for Christmas – the more notice I have, the better. I look forward to seeing you at my events and thanks for your support!

My workshops are very informal.  To date, all workshops have been held at people’s houses – it has evolved like this.  The feedback is that teaching this way offers a much more creative freedom, is really relaxing, a lot of fun and a chance to chat with friends, discover your own natural abilities and, of course, a great opportunity for tea and cake!  I am happy for people to bring their own glass to be painted, if they wish, however, if it is their first time at glass painting, it is best to paint on a flat surface – I provide flat glass shaped window sun catchers, (arches, stars, hearts and circles) and coasters and all other materials needed, including stencilled design ideas.  If people have pictures or images of something they would like to paint, I can help create a simplistic design for their workshop.  I charge £10 per person – this includes all chosen glass, paint and other materials.

Workshops of 4-10 people works best, depending on space available.  I also hold one-to-one – timings and costs as arranged.
