Landscapes in glass
I’m a glass artist based in a small hamlet within Dartmoor National Park, creating kiln-formed glass jewellery and artwork inspired by the rugged beauty of the moor and the Devon coast.
Landscapes to wear
Each of my glass pendants is individually made and named, inspired by places, colours and moments from the landscapes around me.
I build each landscape using up to four layers of glass, combining sheet, crushed and powdered glass with enamels. My own photography and hand-painted details bring elements of the landscape into the work, while repeated firings build colour, texture and depth. Each finished piece is paired with a handcrafted silver bail, creating a completely individual piece of wearable art.
Glass is a perfect medium for interpreting landscapes, celebrating the beauty of colour and light and allowing me to capture a sense of depth. The processes and techniques are endless, as is the complexity of the material itself. It is this mix of science and art that nurtures my passion, creativity and curiosity, continually encouraging me to develop my skills as both a maker and an artist.
From wearable landscapes to larger works
The landscapes that began in my pendant collections have gradually grown into larger kiln-formed glass artworks, giving me more space to explore changing skies, distant horizons, weather and atmosphere.
Working on a larger scale allows me to develop greater depth within the glass, layering colour with hand-painted and photographic details drawn from Dartmoor and the Devon coast.
My debut solo exhibition, Belonging: Between Moor and Sea, brought these works together for the first time, exploring my connection to the landscapes I now call home.
