I am happy to work with you, so you can have a hand in the design process, and I can make your ideas achievable.

Music of the Spheres

This is my interpretation of Pythagoras's Music of the Spheres. He used astrology to help determine pitch and octave, where the stars and immortals existed in the 'highest heavens'.

The Opening of Spring Cottage Cafe

The clock commemorates the opening of a cafe. It has a beautiful grand trine in the earth signs.

Chinese Taurean Lady

This lady wanted a very clean and simple look to her chart. All crystals are clear but colour is seen in the delicate light refraction that they are known for.

leaded window.JPG

Hand cut leaded glass in a cottage window, Whalley, Lancashire. The glass was cut and reassembled so that the natural pattern remained intact.

Planets & Asteroids

This chart was done for a professional astrologer who wanted to include the planets & all the asteroids too.

Horwich Spiritualist Church

Designed in collaboration with members of Horwich Spiritualist Church. Studio photo. Window fitted in a double glazed unit.

Painting Commission

This is a portrait of a pony that was rescued from unfortunate circumstances and restored to health. Appropriately named 'Star', and a beautiful gentle character.

Forgiveness Week.jpg

Commissioned by Blackburn Cathedral in support of Forgiveness Week. The photo was taken in winter and you can see the long reflection of the glass on the floor as the Sun lies low in the afternoon sky.

A split in time and space

Imagine that time and space split to reveal a world beneath, seen through the porthole of a spaceship. This crosses over the boundaries of known astronomy to the genre of sci-fi, where possibilities and potentials built upon knowledge of what we already have, see glimpses of other dimensions.

Leo

Leo though a port hole.

Christian Arch.jpg

Part of a set. This photo captures a beautiful stained glass window reflection in the Cathedral.
