My favourite type of forest would be full of birch trees (Betula Pendula in latin). It is my love of these trees in different seasons that inspired me to make these complimenting pieces - Summer and Autumn. "

I made this mosaic as apple trees remind me of the lovely apples from the trees at the edge of the wood near where I lived

Autumnal reflection rainbow – This was inspired by a wonderful early autumn walk around the lovely gardens at Stourhead. The sun was shining on the trees at the height of their full autumn colour and off the perfectly still water of the lake. A truly uplifting moment! This mosaic is made half with traditional glass tiles (in an opus palladianum ‘crazy paving’ style) and half with stained glass for the reflection. This has been applied to mirror to enhance the effect of the stained glass.

Sunrise over woodland – Inspired by the sunrise in front of my house with its wonderfully big sky and green fields and woodlands. The colour of the sky is ever-changing and always fascinates me. I have tried to capture this in the mosaic as it changes when viewed from different angles. This is made with stained glass strips on to mirror.

Woodland pond Monet-ish – Monet has always been a love of mine and looking through a book I was inspired to try a re-interpretation of a small part of the lily-pond paintings with reference to the woodland theme. I used the stained glass on mirror to create the watery reflective effect.
