Artist Statement
I make stained glass to bring storytelling and a sense of awe into everyday spaces. Cats appear often in my work partly because I love them, but also because I associate them with curiosity, playfulness and being present.
I’m interested in how colour, light and imagery can make us feel awe. My studies in psychology and neuroscience increasingly influence the way I think about perception and emotion, but the work itself isn’t overly serious. I want it to feel playful.
About Me
I have a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting from UAL and trained in stained glass at Morley College, where I achieved a distinction. I’ve since continued developing techniques including glass painting, printing, etching, casting and cold working.
Alongside my glass practice, I study psychology and neuroscience, which has led me to explore ideas around perception, emotion and the way the brain represents the world. One example is my panel based on Penfield’s homunculus, a neurological representation of how different parts of the body are mapped within the brain.
I also volunteer at the Natural History Museum, helping children engage with science through creative activities.
