Welcome

Everything here is handmade and a  one-off.

Most of my works are sculptural. They often start with reclaimed timber and the glass brings the magic!

Most of my works contain some reclaimed materials. The glass will be a mixture of new and recovered glass. The normal characteristics of stained glass include indents, bubbles, roller marks and colour and texture variations. These add to the beauty and make the refracted images created even more intriguing.

I tend to do unique and different things with my materials. I have spent a lot of time and energy ensuring the final product will stand the test of time. Please note that glass is fragile (can break), the solder lines contain lead (keep away from very young children and wash your hands after handling). The glass can be wiped clean and a car polish like carnuba wax can be used to polish it up if necessary. The timber has been rubbed with a mix of bees wax and oil. Over time it could benefit from another similar rub, especially if it gets a lot of sun.

Stained glass, copper foil, lead-based solder, copper wire, brass rod

Another little house with a ladder. I started this series in 2025. They were my musings on the difficulty of getting on the property ladder in NZ. Every piece is different. The first pieces all had different ladders, some were flimsy, some had missing  or broken rungs. They represented the different experiences of people trying to get in to home ownership. I have made 5 more in the series and some of them might be a bit more aspirational. Maybe second homes or community living.

The deep front porch and second story on this one reminds me of the home we lived in Texas. I imagine sitting on the porch sipping iced tea.

This one gives me vibes of pink lemonade on the porch.

Stained glass, copper, lead-based solder, copper re-strip, wooden dowel,  vintage 8mm film projector by Dekko.

Stained glass including antique reclaimed glass, copper foil, lead-based solder, Totara ( from post of old villa)

I have made several pieces on the subject of managed retreat. How we build, where we build, what surfaces do we have around our buildings to mitigate environmental impact as well as respond to the changing environmental conditions.

This piece can be wall hung ( 1 keyhole) or sit flat on a surface. The glass buildings slot into the surface of the timber and can be removed for safe shipping.

Stained glass including antique reclaimed glass, copper foil, lead-based solder, Matai stained black

This stunning green textured glass is very old and was purchased from a demolition business. It represents the importance to retain some of the beauty and history of the old buildings even when we need to strengthen and modernise the interior to suit today’s purposes.

Stained glass, copper foil, lead-based solder, epoxy resin, reclaimed  timber

Like with many of my works I am thinking about our imprint on the environment. This is a cute little house in textured clear and green glass. It might appear to be built “green” but perhaps it is isn’t or maybe it is in the wrong location. There is green “water” seeping from it.

Don’t let my ideas get in the way of you enjoying this very cute little sculpture.

Inspired by a very large plinth in The National, jewellery gallery in Christchurch, these mini plinths  can wall hang or sit either way up. With the white surface up and battery powered lights under them they are great displays for jewellery or small items.
