My style could be described as semi abstract. I try to break a subject down to its basic form and then go about reconstructing it using simple shapes, lines and colours.

I get inspiration from New Zealand’s native birds, the Kea and Tui in particular, the colours of which I find truly stunning.
My current projects are based on the human form.

Combining the beauty and delicacy of stained glass within a hard polished stainless-steel frame has required a bit of trial and error to work out and get right. Each piece rests on a reclaimed Kauri base, that I find softens it as a whole.
