I am a stained glass artist working from my garden studio in Sussex. My work is mainly commission based. I graduated from Eastbourne College of Art and Design with a Society of Industrial Artists and Designers (S.I.A.D.) Diploma in Graphic Design. I undertook training in stained glass art design under the professional guidance of master craftsman Keith Nickels. I run stained glass art workshops throughout the year at my studio for individuals or couples.
