House martins are such sweet little birds! Sadly their numbers are dropping in the UK, but now we are adding swift bricks, reducing pesticides even further and rewilding to bring back native insect numbers… may we have even more martins in the future! (WIP)

Chalk rivers are some of the rarest habitat on Earth, 85% of which can be found in England. The UK has a unique responsibility in confronting the constant challenges these rivers and their inhabitants face

Antonus and The Snow Goose. Oil on canvas, 24cm x 30cm.
This is a still life but also a portrait of my mother through her personal possessions. It’s also a way for me to process the gradual loss of my mum through dementia.

Magpie hanging is now finished.
I love the blues and greens of of the surround and how the silver stain of the coins in the nest zings!

The first two stages/firings are done. Each stage takes a full day. I wonder how many more before I am happy & can move on to the complementary glass and lead stages?

The view from my bedroom window - a harsh November morning a couple of years ago. A fantastic hoar frost and a light dusting of snow revealed the contours and tracks on the field in an opalescent light.

This one was meant to be a smaller panel but it had other ideas! It needed something else and I found just the right piece of glass to add to match the rays of sunlight.
I hope you like it!

A miserable boss-eyed lion is playing the fiddle whilst balacing on a tree branch. A red and blue border with a pattern runs up the side.
Am enjoying making these bits of medieval silliness!

Marvel at an amazing matchstick model of Norwich Cathedral, alongside the real thing, when my garden opens in aid of Nansa on Sunday. Music, games, stalls, teas, garden - and Matthew Shackshaft's matchstick cathedral.

A raven is painted onto glass in hues of black, grey, blue and golden orangey yellow. Its reflection is clear and looks to be on wet sand.
Well, she's flown! The first painting I ever did, just for myself, has found a loving home with the best people. I even got to visit it there!
The one that started my new path in life - mixed emotions!
