I make bespoke artworks and giftware and has sold artworks across the Midlands at venues such as Broadway Arts Festival and other craft markets and retailers.

My work is influenced by nature and the wider world, and the tactile and reflective nature of the glass itself often informs her artwork designs. Her creations vary from small coasters to large glass totem poles, fish clocks to hanging giraffes, candle holders to abstract sculptures, birds, trees and flowers and many other creations.
