Artists statement

"My work combines traditional mosaic methods with flame-worked and kiln-worked glass in an innovative and experimental process, creating a unique three-dimensional effect. I handcraft every piece of glass in my work, and then combine them in my own unique style, which is strikingly different to that of conventional two-dimensional glass mosaics." - Lucy Cleary
