I am a lampwork glass bead artist who loves colour. I graduated from Winchester School of Art with a degree in textile design, specialising in weave and worked as a freelance textile designer selling my designs to fashion houses, including Donna Karan and Calvin Klein. Colour inspires, colour captivates - whether the soft blush of a duck egg or the vibrant show of a tropical flower - colour just reaches out and grabs me. For me and my work, colour is everything.


Modern lampwork artists have some fantastic equipment at their disposal not forgetting a wonderful array of glass to use. I mainly use soft, and occasionally borosilicate, glass for my beads, all of which are annealed in a kiln to ensure their strength and durability. If you’d like to know a little more, please see my FAQ page. You will also find a list of my current planned events there.

I am always delighted to hear from people interested in my work so if you would like to learn more, please get in touch:
