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, lead-based solder, copper restrip, brass rod, unknown timber

This biker was inspired by its mountain. I get given scraps of wood by people who think they might be useful. This one has sat in my studio for over 2 years! With my Bridge Street ‘Gorrilla’ Art Project and Gravity Bike Shop in Nelson keen to be involved I decided to make this as a more site specific piece. 

Full proceeds of sale will go to Nelson Bike Hub.

See my blog post or my Instagram Story Highlights ( Bridge St Project) for more about this piece and more images.

Do DM me if you are interested. I will bring it back to my studio for sale by January 16, 2026.

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.

This piece is currently on display in Wills Jewellers as part of my Bridge St Project.

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.

Sometimes I’m not sure where my ideas come from. This sculpture is in 2 parts. The orange glass just seems to bring a mid-century vibe and reminds me of bold carpet choices.

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 thee white surface up and battery powered lights under them they are great displays for jewellery or small items.

One of these is listed on my Felt Shop. Click on the image to be redirected there to see more photos.

One is on display in  Wills Jewellers, Nelson as part of my Bridge St Project. If you are interested please message me.
