Glass for me is a path to admire beauty, to wonder, to dream, to connect, to imagine, to experiment, to learn, to make mistakes, to create. I love the way in which ‘accidents’ can discover unexpected effects that feed new inspirations. Endless exploration is what I find the most exciting in working with this unique material.

My Story

I was born and grew up in Spain and lived and worked in Italy, the USA, and since 2006 in the UK. Whilst employed in fulltime jobs during most of my working life, the last ten years until 2013 as a teacher, I always gave space to my creativity through textiles, watercolour and ceramics.

​

In 2013 I decided to change drive, quitted my job and started learning two new disciplines. One was upholstery; I have been always connected with fabrics, and designing and upcycling chairs came to me as a natural and creative experience. The other discipline was Stained Glass, which opened for me a window to a fabulous new world.

​

My journey in glass started in 2016 with Stained Glass at the Macbeth Adult Education Centre, London, with Tim Cunliffe. Having become interested in fused glass, I started with a Glass Jewellery course at Richmond Community College, London, with Monette Larsen. I continued with more advanced courses in kiln-formed techniques both at Richmond and at Morley College North Kensington, London, where I completed the BTEC Arts and Design in Glass levels 2 and 3, with Maria Zulueta. Presently, I keep developing my projects at Morley.

​

New ideas lead me to different techniques, each of them captivating; they open innumerable possibilities to express myself and connect my work with the world that surrounds me, especially with nature, which remains the main source of my inspiration.

​

I am a Member of the Contemporary Glass Society (CGS) and Just Glass in the UK.
