My artistic practice centres on stained and painted glass, exploring light as material and metaphor. Combining traditional techniques with experimental surfaces, I create contemplative works focused on presence, energy, and human connection. Informed by spiritual practice and meditation, my art fosters transformation, inner stillness, and shared experience.

My artistic practice centres on kiln-fired stained glass and glass painting, exploring themes of transformation, perception, memory, and the relationship between light and human experience. I work with glass as both a material and a conceptual language, creating artworks that shift with changing light, viewpoint, and environment, revealing new layers of meaning over time.

Through multiple firings, painted surfaces, and experimental processes, I combine traditional stained-glass techniques with a contemporary approach to image-making. The unpredictable nature of heat, gravity, and light plays an active role in the creation of each work, allowing transformation itself to become part of the artistic process.

My practice investigates the spaces between visibility and concealment, presence and absence, structure and dissolution. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, my work invites contemplation and encourages viewers to engage with questions of identity, perception, and the unseen forces that shape human experience.

Based in London, I have exhibited in galleries, museums, publications, and international exhibitions. My work has been shown at the William Morris Society Museum at Kelmscott House and in exhibitions including Spring Tide 2026, Archetypes, Rituals, New Beginnings, Open Art Exhibition 2026, and We Art Wandsworth. Through glass and light, I seek to transform intangible emotional and psychological experiences into tangible, ever-changing visual forms.

In 2024, two of my artworks were selected for exhibition at the William Morris Society Museum at Kelmscott House, as part of the Macbeth Centre Autumn Exhibition connecting contemporary artists with the historic Arts & Crafts legacy.

Earlier in my career, I also organised a multi-artist exhibition in 2010.
