A glass painter and conservator since 2000, I bring over 25 years of experience working at the intersection of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work is rooted in the traditions of stained glass\u2014particularly detailed glass painting\u2014paired with a sensitive, bespoke approach to each commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working from my studio at home in a North Yorkshire village, each piece is painted and kiln-fired by hand. This setting, alongside an enduring influence from the surrounding landscape and historic glass traditions, informs a practice that is both considered and deeply personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I trained in-house have spent over 20 years as a Glass Painter and Conservator at Martin Johnson & Co (York) Ltd, as well as time in a private stained glass studio in Christchurch, New Zealand. This depth of experience has instilled a strong respect for the discipline of the craft, the integrity of materials, and the importance of creating work that will endure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hold an MA in Fine Arts, Arts Management & Heritage Studies from the University of Leeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work with private clients, interior designers, and architects to develop carefully considered stained glass commissions\u2014from initial concept through to final installation. I take on a small number of projects each year, allowing for a thoughtful, collaborative process and a level of detail that reflects the individuality of each piece.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
