My work is influenced by Middle Eastern Art as well as the elaborate detail of the paintings by Gustav Klimpt and I am inspired by the Irish stained glass artist, Harry Clarke. Colour and light play a vital role in my work. For the stained glass panels, I use layers of paint, sandblasted, copper foiled, flash glass and framed glass, to create vibrant pictures. The human figure features in nearly all my stained glass work, set within elaborate backgrounds. Detailed and highly decorative, I create intriguing pictures within rich layers of colour.
