Meet glass artist Sue Smith. Sue travels extensively and has lived in the Middle East and Europe. Originally from Devon and now working from her home studio there, Sue has been working with glass and various mediums for over 20 years and has a keen interest in the world about her, in nature and the environment and has been both influenced and inspired by different cultures and architecture from around the world...This energy is reflected in her work where she creates pieces using a combination of colours, materials and textures to surprise, delight, engage and encapture.

Recently Sue has been working with recycled glass, designing the "Gaudi" range, influenced by the work of Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona and also a new range inspired by famous son of Lanzarote Caesar Manrique. This provides her with exciting and endless possibilities to create unique and individual pieces of work, whilst taking on board the ever so important issues of recycling and the preservation of the world around us. Thus, each piece is unique in colour, shape and size and holds its own individual character and atmosphere.

Sue explores colour and texture to its full potential so that her work becomes an expression or reflection of the natural beauty that surrounds us, unfortunately all too often overlooked. Sue believes that a piece of work should speak to you, make you feel, make you think, move you, inspire you or delight you.

There is always a piece to represent you or to express your personality and emotions. Sue finds working with glass both challenging and fulfilling. Her Garden Mosaics have become increasingly popular and are in demand.
