Judy
is a largely self taught artist whose background has been very varied
including maths engineering lecturing in ICT and teaching in nursery
schools in UK and US.
The
began working in stained glass when living in the US in the '80s
and it has become a life long passion, combining as it does artistic
expression with technical approaches from previous careers.
She
has been working from her studio the Flying Pig Glass Company for
the last five years where most of her work is commissioned she interprets
the particular requirements of the client in a wide range of styles.
Left
to her self her style has become increasingly abstract and structural.
The
methods are traditional - glass of different colours and textures
set in lead came - but the resulting pieces are modern and graphic.
The
glass is unadorned by paint or other surface treatments to maximise
the essential brilliance of the medium. Colour is often vibrant
but can be subtle.
Most
of all the work is about light and is designed to react differently
in changing light conditions so that a piece may take time to reveal
all its secrets!
She
also passes on her skills in regular workshop sessions at The Flying
Pig.
She
encourages her students to be equally bold in their approach and
to challenge themselves in their work.
