As a former illustrator I became interested in the glass stippling technique after seeing a friends work in 1996. This led me to teach myself engraving techniques such as Stipple, Line, Drill and Satin effects.
I taught Stipple engraving at Tokyo Glass Art Institute for 21 years from April 2001.
I published a book on the techniques of Stipple and Line engraving with a Japanese publishing company in 2008.
I became a Craft member of The Guild of Glass Engravers in 2001, an Associate Fellow in 2008 and a Fellow in 2019. I have participated in many Glass Art Exhibitions.
