Artist’s Statement for flameworked pieces:
"Robots, monkeys and monsters fuel my imagination. I flamework glass character pendants - infused with a cheeky sense of humour. My designs begin as ink sketches, inspired by childhood memories and nostalgia. Each character develops a unique personality as I delicately sculpt its features. I strive to make objects that incorporate an element of playful surprise."
