Helen works with kiln formed glass and glass powders in her studio in the north west corner of the Wirral peninsula, creating textural, tactile glass artworks which are strongly influenced by her coastal location.

“I am an ‘accidental’ glass artist; having returned to university to study applied arts after a career in IT, I expected to specialise in ceramics (or maybe metalwork…) but there was something about glass that kept drawing me back.
My work is a response to the interplay of light and surface in the landscape and natural world around me. I am fascinated by textural surfaces and the way they change with the light; by the ever changing surfaces and light of the tidal landscape; by the contrast between the inner and outer surface of, say, a shell, or a piece of bark….”

Helen is very involved in the local Wirral arts community and, together with a small team, coordinates the popular annual Wirral Open Studio Tour. She is also a member of the Contemporary Glass Society, helping to coordinate the CGS Northern Hub get togethers.
