  1. I'm pleased to announce you can now buy my work from The Rostra Gallery in George Street, Bath. Their website has location details and opening times, visit www.rostragallery.co.uk

    New for Rostra

    They are stocking my flower themed work along with some new pieces based on moths. Yes you read that correctly. I've been trapsing around the country with my partner Rob who is trying to photograph all the British Butterflies over next few years. I quite often sit down and draw or just watch and I seem to have seen more moths and I'm astounded at how colourful they can be. Also the butterflies & moths are more often hanging from a branch like this Brimstone Butterfly so its a completly different shape and you get to see the underside of the wings which can be completly different  & more colourful than the normal view we are used to.

    this has led to my new designs which can be seen at The Rostra Gallery in Bath which also has some beautiful stained glass butterflies larger than life and really stunning.

  2. 2 weeks of plastic for 2 persons copy

    Not a pretty sight. But this is how much plastic packaging I threw out last week. 

    Only half could be re-cycled.

    So I'm taking on the Marine Conservation's Society's PLASTIC CHALLENGE

    and I'm going to try to reduce the amount I use by 70%.

  3. Hi there, yesterday I delivered work to a really lovely Gallery in Langport on the Somerset Levels. Shakspeare Glass run by Will Shakspeare and his wife Kate and its THE PLACE TO GO if you want to see some stunning blown glass and if you're lucky actually see Will and the team at work, as his studio is set to the right of the Gallery. You can also get coffee and cake there !

    The gallery houses work from local artists as well as Will's glasswork and I am really pleased to be represented here and in Taunton. I hope my colourful aluminium jewellery will complement the work there.

    His original studio was in the centre of Taunton and this is now exclusively a gallery, set amongst Tauntons artisan shops near the Brewhouse Theatre. to find out more visit https://shakspeare-glass.myshopify.com
