Artist CV

Professional Summary

I am a kiln-formed glass artist based in Scotland. I began working with glass at a night class at The Glasgow School of Art in 2017 now have my own glass studio, creating collections inspired by nature, conservation, psychology and sociology. I am a member of the Scottish Glass Society (SGS) and Contemporary Glass Society (CGS). In 2023 I received a VACMA (Visual Artist and Craft Maker Award) from Creative Scotland to create a collection inspired by the peat bog ecosystem, its carnivorous plants and the wider flowlands landscape of Caithness.
