neither silent nor absent
Exploring stories through art and making
Welcome
a journey as an artist that began unexpectedly after spending years raising a family and working hard until a visit to a Museum of Glass ignited a passion for making.
Inspired by the alchemy and serendipity of materials and images, striving to embrace the freedom of creativity, breaking rules and pushing boundaries to tell stories and confront truths.

Telling stories -
The stories are there, sometimes we don't know how to find them; to gather the courage to say the words out loud; to believe that anyone is interested. I began by telling stories through the medium of glass and now through text and paint and marker and collage - in fact with any medium that brings the stories into the light.
Creative Collaborations
No artist is an island, no work the product of just one imagination and creativity. Collaborations are fun and challenging, give insight and motivation - other eyes seeing my work, other ears hearing the stories.
​
From discreet collaborations with one or two artists to working with larger community groups my passion for making is undimmed. The stories and inspirations are found in everyday lives and materials. From Zine making to contemporary art - from galleries to village halls where people are there is creativity.
