Beetles

I loved writing the names in Latin with a dipping pen and it created the effect I wanted of an antiquarian or museum collection.

Butterflies (USA)

Here is a lovely little commission I was asked to do of four butterflies. They are three types of Swallowtails and a Monarch, all native to the home of the client in Ohio, USA.

Moths

This panel depicts Cinnabar, Elephant Hawk and Garden Tiger Moths. It was made using a mix of antique mouth-blown and clear glass with paint and silver stain.

Pipistrelle Bat

This panel of a Common Pipistrelle bat. I have always loved bats and look forward to seeing these particular ones flying around near where I live. I finally bought a bat detector recently which I will be using soon in the garden and local woods. All the little pieces are English Antique glass.

Bat

These bats are medieval in inspiration and the bat is a bit of a hybrid creature and has a longer, lizard-like tail. I love the creatures in the margins of medieval manuscripts. The panels use English Antique Glass and silver stain along with the paint work to create all the effects.

Menagerie

This is an earlier work of mine in stained glass. It contains lots of elements that I love using, such as streakie glasses which add an atmospheric glow to the painting, and of course, lots of wildlife! The animals are mostly hybrids that are influenced by images from medieval manuscripts and are set within a spooky forest.

Parable of the Sower

Here is a panel I made in 2016 on an internship at Canterbury Cathedral Studios. It’s part of a panel in a stained glass window there, representing ‘The Parable of the Sower’. It took about six weeks to make and was made using traditional grozing irons to cut the glass down and a medieval style of paintwork. Happy memories.

Seahorse

The seahorse is based on a lovely antique silver brooch I bought in Whitby – the last place I visited for a short holiday before lockdown. I wanted to create the feel of parchment by using glass paint combined with streakie brown glasses.

In The Glade

I often see Roe Deer on walks with my dogs in my local woodlands. This one was staring at me beside a tree and I managed to recreate the glowing glade in antique glasses. It was a magical moment.

Butterflies

This panel depicts a Small Tortoiseshell, Red Admiral and Orange-Tip butterflies. It was made using a mix of antique mouth-blown and clear glass with paint and silver stain.
