I work in fused and cast glass and metals. I love experimenting and have a dust class BA Honours Designer Maker degree and a distinction in Masters of craft from the university of Brighton. Currently exhibit with the Sussex arts collective, Sussex contemporary and hailsham artists network

I like to work conceptually. During my MA I used burial as part of my making process, where I left made objects in set locations for a considerable amount of time, this was in order to have a piece of a place that I held dearly in my memories. I used glass, metals and textiles to make my objects and using research I created a family tree of objects. I would like the opportunity to develop this practice and bring it into the community as a form of art therapy.
