Belonging
Between moor and sea
My debut solo exhibition, Belonging: Between Moor and Sea, explored my growing sense of connection to Dartmoor and the Devon coast — and what it means to finally find a place that feels like home.
My debut solo exhibition
Belonging: Between Moor and Sea was held at No. 10 Gallery in Chagford, Dartmoor, from 28–31 August 2026.
Bringing together over a year of work, the exhibition featured 17 framed kiln-formed glass landscapes, more than 25 landscape pendants and a new collection of fine art prints, all inspired by Dartmoor and the Devon coast.
The exhibition marked an important development in my practice, taking the landscape ideas first explored through my wearable glass into larger-scale work.
About the Exhibition
Belonging: Between Moor and Sea explores what it means to find home through place.
Having grown up in a military family and moved frequently, I never truly felt I had roots. Even when we stayed somewhere for several years, there was always a sense that another move might come — and not much changed into adulthood.
That nomadic thread continued, including six years living aboard a boat we had built ourselves, without a permanent residential address — fittingly sign written with the words “Built by professional nomads.”
And yet there has always been a small connection to Devon. My grandmother was proudly Devonian, and I like my cream teas the same way she did — cream then jam — so perhaps that quarter-Devon blood runs deeper than I realised.
Living in Devon has felt different. It is the first place where movement has gradually given way to belonging; somewhere I finally feel I have begun to put down roots.
“We came for the sea, but fell for the moor.”
10% of all sales were donated to Dartmoor Search & Rescue - Ashburton.
Inspired by Dartmoor and the Devon coast, these pendants capture the shifting light, weather and fleeting moments that have shaped my connection to this landscape.
Although I’m best known for my landscape pendants, this solo show gave me the opportunity to expand those ideas into larger glass works

The Solo Show Diary
31 Episodes and counting.
What began as a fortnightly diary documenting the year-long journey towards my first solo exhibition has become a record of the whole experience — from the early ideas and experiments to finally seeing Belonging: Between Moor and Sea in the gallery.
The diary continues as I reflect on the exhibition, what I learned from it, and where the work might take me next.
