Toucans
Inspired by an old engraving, this panel
is
made with both machine-made
and mouth-blown glass. Each piece is hand-painted using traditional
stained glass pigments, which are then kiln-fired into the glass.

Mahogany Cell Structure
This piece of glass is an
interpretation of a
microscopic view of a transverse section through Mahogany.
I
have used the copper foil technique to join the stained and painted
pieces of hand-made glass. I also used globs, roundels and agate
slices.

Tumour Cells
An interpretation of the microscopic

obtain different effects.

Swiss Chard
A complex panel in which the leaves are
made
using two layers fused
together in the kiln and then painted and fired again. An underrated
highly decorative vegetable!

the
origin of the term "Stained
Glass" ) and paint techniques on both sides of the glass.
