It starts with a degree in Civil Engineering followed by training as a Landscape Architect. Whilst pursuing that I discovered the wonders of Photoshop so I went back to college and explored graphic design. Everything I’ve done and continue to do adds to my creative and personal development. If I hadn’t studied civil engineering I might not have come across landscape architecture. The design process I learned on that course then transferred directly to graphic design.
After 20 years working as a website and graphic designer I’m transitioning to becoming a full time glass artist. Inspired by a day course taken nearly 10 years ago, the variety within the kiln-formed glass process means there’s much to explore. Other creative projects keep the inspiration coming and have been responsible for some great ideas, but there's something about the kiln that keeps drawing me back.
