Location: 28 Yarrow Close, Rushden, Northamptonshire, NN10 0XL
Did you have any formal training? No, mainly self taught
Subject of Choice: Wildlife, particularly big cats
Medium of choice: Fused glass, pastels or acrylics
What inspires you? Nature and natural forms
Do you have any artistic ambitions that you are working towards? I used to want nothing more than my own studio where I can teach and inspire others and in 2019 that became a reality, so I consider myself very lucky. Now I am immersed in the world of glass fusing as a medium and find myself on a continual journey of discovery. The potential of combining my artwork with some of the chemical changes that can happen with glass is fascinating.
