All of my art work has been created from recycled sea glass, collected from the shores of the East coast of Scotland. I have been collecting and working with Sea glass for over 10 years and have exhibited both in the UK & America.

My art work is individual and unique, and cannot be mass-produced. Although two pieces can be similar no two items can ever be identical.

Sea glass is created from discarded bottles, glasses, jars etc. which are worn down to smooth organic forms by the constant surge and ebb of the sea. Nature has recycled and transformed this material into what is generally known as Sea glass. Although it is also known as: Marine gems, Sea sapphires, Mermaids tears or Atlantic amber. A lot of the glass is very old (like the almost black olive green of 17th century bottles from shipwrecks on the Scottish coast).

These translucent pebbles have many subtly different shades, the greens range from pale olive to dark emerald, and whites from frosted snow white, to pale blue to lavender. Each has an individual shape and texture that refracts light in subtly different ways.
