I am a former graphic designer and illustrator who fell on hard times and had to resort to working with computers to pay the mortgage. Now I plan to have my revenge on technology by showing it at its devious worst; robots, half-human creatures, and monsters illustrated in marker pen on paper. Remember, if it has wires inside it, don’t trust it!

Potential Indifference a digital art collective that emerged from the creative urges of a group of Bristol based robotics researchers. When not building robots we create interactive electronic installations.
We'll be showing our piece 'Milk Pixel' at the Creative Glass Guild. Come and play!

My work is on display in the Beauley Room at the Southville Centre.

Fused glasswork is a great way to explore colour and light and this is the main focus of my work. I enjoy the design process and technical discipline that each piece requires. Each finished piece is unique and whilst work can be repeated, each will have it’s own dimensions.

Transparent glass can be enhanced by both natural and directed light and pieces can be designed for different settings. I have used natural and abstract forms in several pieces to explore layering and composition, as well as rhythm in pattern.
