I began to do stained glass work part-time in 1983, using the copper foil technique.

I was self-taught, and have been innovative from the beginning with respect to both design and technique. Towards the end of 1984 I made my first window: “Bamboo”. I have made a few lamps and other objects in stained glass, but most of my effort is expended creating windows.

In my earlier career I was a university teacher and researcher in the field of Information Science.
