1992 My wife Lorna and I bought and renovated a 1790 Barn; this has become our home and studios. Lorna is an artist whose paintings are also inspired from Africa.
Since 1991 I have developed a style of glass which is inspired by the deserts and mountains of Africa. I work with architects and art galleries around the world. I have had many exhibitions and my work is in many private and public collections.
