Details
I describe my technique as "motorised drawing" on glass and that is how I approach my designs. I am inspired by the natural world and interpret it in my own unique style. I am motivated by experimentation and I'm always looking at new ways to use my skills and extend my practice. I engrave on optical glass and make Verre églomisé wall art and miniature paintings on gold leaf.
I find that making something tangible using my hands is very a satisfying and calming pursuit as I am completely immersed in the creative process.
Contemporary glass engraver and gilder.
I have taught internationally in Germany, Sweden, USA and UK and exhibited in museums and galleries in the EU, UAE, USA and Japan but now concentrate on my own practice and exhibitions.
