Private Commissions
Untitled
This piece was commissioned by the owner of ‘Frizzante’ (see below). He wanted similar colours and textures to that round, free standing work, but this piece to be larger, and wall mounted. After some discussion, we decided on rectangular shapes instead of circular, but to include a wide variety of the dichroic glasses that had been used in the first piece. I included small touches of a glass with a circular pattern embedded in it as an additional link
Mollie
Being pleased with the image I had created of him earlier, my client commissioned another piece, this time of one of his daughters. This most interesting and engaging young lady is a self confessed ‘nerd’ and very definitely did not want anything remotely girly, pink or glittery. This is the result. I was happy with it, and more importantly, so were my client and his daughter.
Burano II
My client and her husband love the colourful island of Burano. Having seen my original ‘Burano’ piece after it had been sold elsewhere, this piece was commissioned as a surprise birthday gift for her husband.
Sarah’s Sparkle
Kiln fused glass wall mounted on silvered birch ply.
Untitled I
These clients have a truly lovely house with a ‘deco’ feel to it. They commissioned three ‘mask’ pieces which would work as a triptych, hung side by side together and picking up on the blue/purple/pink shades in their beautiful dining room.

Toward Sandown
This client has a home in Deal, and commissioned a piece evocative of the town. I chose to depict this view of the seafront road looking towards Sandown, as it encompasses the picturesque, pretty pastel coloured old houses which are so typical of Deal.
Mr E
The client who commissioned this piece asked for a ‘likeness’ of himself. He most definitely did not want a portrait, but rather, my impression of him as an individual. This was a really interesting commission for me, as I had never attempted such a thing before, and there was much trial and error. But in the end I believe I have managed to capture something his look and of his character, of what makes him unique. I am very pleased with what I achieved. And happily so is my client!
Frizzante
This circular, free standing piece was commissioned by a client who loves reds and purples
For Danae
This piece was commissioned by the client for a bedroom, in which there is a very good copy of Gustav Klimt’s ‘Danae’, beautifully decorative with all its rich oranges, reds and gold. There is also a fabulous deep purple velvet chair in the room. I designed this piece to link those elements, using gold mica powder to create sparkle and shimmer.
Elemental
This piece was commissioned for a dining room. The room is decorated in shades of green, the furnishings include beautiful pale green leather dining chairs and there is a large abstract painting, predominantly reds, oranges and dark blues, on one wall. ‘Elemental’ was created to link the various features of the room.
Triptych I
This piece was created for a large kitchen/breakfast room. The sleek and modern room has unusual stained glass pelmets of geometric design in shades of black and grey sitting over the window and the french doors at either end of the room. The decor is softened by two organic, vibrantly coloured paintings. This triptych takes elements from each of the paintings, and from the straight lines of the pelmets.
