I chose to work in glass because of its wonderful colours and luminosity. I live in West Cork, Ireland, among some of the most beautiful and rugged scenery of the Atlantic coast of Ireland, and it’s this - and the ever-changing light of the area - that inspires my work.
My practice is based on my enjoyment of the process of creating pieces that are pleasing to the eye and visually intriguing.
Thank you for visiting my website; I hope you enjoy it.

The quilt has been exhibited at the Venice Glass Week; Áras an Uachtaráin (the residence of the President of Ireland); Dublin Castle; the National Museum of Ireland Country Life; Trades House, Glasgow; and Wasps Creative Academy, Inverness.
