Inspired at school by the sculptural possibilities of ceramics and influenced by a family of engineers, I continued my education in London with a degree in product design at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication. This discipline, emphasising the process of design, construction and an understanding of materials, has allowed me to develop over the past eleven years as an artist with a personal creative style that complements the work of my colleague Peter Layton.

We specialise in combining glass and metals, sometimes as flat modular elements or more recently the use of kiln formed glass. The materials are handled sensitively and used expressively to create a synergy that exploits their character, often in challenging and difficult circumstances, to create daring and unique solutions.

Through drawings, maquettes, and CAD design pieces evolve from concept proposal, design detailing and manufacture to final installation. Research and development with managed input from other specialists achieves an exceptionally high level of quality and finish. Constant attention to detail, including full risk analysis and safety calculations ensure complete client confidence and satisfaction.

The pieces, monolithic or magical, reflect light and express the seductive kaleidoscopic qualities of glass and steel allowing viewers to indulge in their fantasies.
