Inspired by our origin in the stars, Gene pool is a solid optical glass block, engraved on every
surface and gilded with 24ct gold leaf. The gilding appears to bounce around the glass as
it catches the light and refracts within the piece.
12x12x12cms 24ct gold on optical glass
optional wooden display stand.
Nancy is a glass artist with an international reputation. After graduating with a degree in
design she worked as a medical illustrator in London before moving to rural Herefordshire,
discovering glass engraving and setting up her studio there.
Her training involved attention to detail and precision, which combined with a love of
drawing from her imagination (aka ‘doodling’) has produced work of a uniquely distinctive
style. A restless creativity has also led to years of experimentation with gold leaf and paint
as applied to engraved glass. The result is a diverse portfolio of work, from drill engraved
vessels to verre églomisé wall panels, mirrors and the optical puzzle sculptures of her
latest series.
