Details
My work is both decorative using stained glass and ceramic china within the pieces and also contemporary stained glass wall panels abstracting the shapes and colours of images such as fish and birds
Being an artist is a way of life that I couldn't imagine living without .I enjoy sharing my passion with others in my classes both weekend courses and weekly .I continually challenge myself and strive for individuality within my mosaics being inspired by either the beautiful medium of glass or a retro plate with a pattern that lends itself to my design.
I am of professional self taught mosaic artist and tutor living in Ross-on-Wye. I have run my business Freshwater Mosaics for 18 years.
I run workshops from my studio and also use it as space to work and sell my mosaics from.
I teach both weekly classes where people can work on a larger projects and also weekend workshops where something can be completed within a day .please contact me for upcoming dates
Having previously painted I took a break to bring up my young family until moving to the Isle of Wight in 2004 when I took up the medium of mosaic. Its diverse range of subject matter and mediums that can be incorporated within a design is something I always find interesting. My particular favourites are stained glass, ceramics and dichroic accents. I have taught from my studio for 12 years and offer full tuition either in a one day workshop or weekly classes. I have worked on many commissions both public and private and sell my work via Etsy at Freshwater Mosaics or direct from my studio here in Ross on Wye open by appointment.
