About Opus Mosaic

Opus Mosaic

Passionate about Glass Art

In the main I am a glass artist with glass fusion as my passion, I adore the tactile nature of glass. Having said that I am attracted to most artistic mediums and tend to mix my media, hence my enduring love for Mosaic and textures.

In Exeter where I live I have the best of both worlds being the capital of Devon it is a small city with a long history surrounded by the countryside, moors and coastline. The South West is over flowing with an abundance of artistic inspirations.

My artistic inspirations are very varied like my use of materials. I love nature and am very inspired by the local flora and fauna. I am creatively motivated by buildings, landscapes/seascapes and abstract pattern.

My creative process is sometimes influenced and inspired by other artists including Chagall, Klee, Hunderwasser, Klimt and Gaudi I love their use/mixture of bold colours.

I admire David Hockney’s work especially his most recent work, painting nature as he sees it not as we expect it to be. The work of photographer Gregory Crewedson intrigues me it can be quiet dark and very thought provoking. I love poetry and find the written imagery very powerful.

Generally I have a relaxed style, free flowing I am not at all regimented. I can be inspired by the sights that I see around me , or at other times it comes totally from within. I love the building up of multilayers of colours you can create with glass & textures you can achieve with the found materials I can use in mosaic. Sometimes I leave a piece partially completed so I can live with it and just let it grow over time.

My art is about playing and experimenting to create something desirable.
