Experienced Glass Artist:

In 2024 I moved into working full time as an architectural glass artist- through my company LF Kaleidoscope. I combine exceptional technical delivery with a contemporary visual style that combines my love of colour and movement into the flow and precision of leaded stained glass work. From Geometric Architectural pieces and glass painting, to nudes in rare mouth blown glass - my glass work is playful, colourful and vivid. I have won the Amanda Moriarty Memorial Prize 2024 and have had work selected for the International Biennale of Glass, Bulgaria 2025. My work has been featured in Devon Life Magazine and Greenhill Arts Biennale.

Technical Capacity:

Working at an Architectural level I understand and am able to adapt designs to the technical specification of exterior glazing, including multiple experience of designing and making work for encapsulation in toughened glass and for triple glazing, and for specific architectural apertures and design considerations.

Responsive Designer:

I am an award winning Arts Practitioner with over 20 years experience creating socially engaged projects worldwide. I am a confident workshop facilitator, trained coach and mental health first aider, with an advanced CRB check. I am comfortable adapting workshops to different communities and reflecting local stories, people and imagery into final creations. I enjoy engaging wide ranging audiences and communities and creating groundbreaking colourful work with multi-disciplinary teams and stakeholders.

Exceptional Track Record:

I have an exceptional track record for creating amazing work with community engagement that has longevity and impact. My work is bright, colourful and vivid. Alongside its craftsmanship it contains poignant reflections of our stories and interactions in this world. My glass work often combines nature, human forms, industrial landscapes and geometric abstract patterns. I have an artistic vocabulary that reflects your brief for working that is welcoming, that connects people, that uses vintage and the salvaged glass.
