My body of work reflects my family life; these mischievous, colourful glass sculptures have evolved from drawings inspired by playing with my children. I want my work to be bright, childlike, and playful, each piece subtly hinting at the emotions, feelings and thoughts I have in day to day life. The trolleys are carrying objects, found or made by myself, to represent certain chapters in my life. I would like the viewer to be drawn to the sweet, cheeky individual characters of these mice and hope they raise a smile!

 I studied Sculpture at Sheffield Hallam University using mixed media and graduated in 2002 with a B.A. Hons Fine Art Sculpture. Since then, I have been painting whilst bringing up my three children in Norwich. I am now concentrating on sculpture in glass using the lost wax casting (using ‘Pate de verre’) technique.

For the last couple of years, I have been working with my father, glass artist David Reekie, as an apprentice/labourer and have been producing my own work.  I am an active member of the Contemporary Glass Society, exhibiting work in their online exhibitions, and have also been picked to exhibit my work in a few of their selected exhibitions.

With my more recent work, I have incorporated found objects with my glass mice. I like to use old, discarded, or found items that have an unknown history and a story to tell. Finding these objects gives me inspiration and ideas for my work. Transforming them into pieces of art, changing their purpose, and giving them a new lease of life. In doing so, I want my pieces of sculpture to tell their own stories.
