Biography
I have a background in Social Anthropology (BA and MA, Lancaster University) which forms the basis for my area of interest in Fine Art. I have also worked extensively in exhibitions and the creative industries which, along with a keen interest in the built environment, informs the site sensitive approach to my work.
After a Foundation degree in Design and Creative Arts (Derby University), I followed a lifelong fascination with glass. I have developed my craft, learning from Nina Casson McGarva, Joseph Harrington, Angela Jarman and Fiaz Elson.
I am interested in exploring the crossover between Fine Art and Craft disciplines: the dynamic between functional, decorative and conceptual forms.
I am currently completing an MFA (Sheffield Institute of Art).
