Eleanor is a stained glass artist with a long, deep interest in the complex geometric frameworks found in Gothic cathedrals. She was fascinated to find the commonality of patterns used in sacred art throughout human history and seeks to apply these ideas using light and line through her stained glass work. The meditative repetition of shape creates an interesting challenge to her craft. Discovering that each pattern can be recreated in a multiplicity of ways means that a unique piece of art is created with each rendition. 

Eleanor has been working with stained glass since 2002, initially for established Stained Glass studios until developing her own practice. In 2008 she was awarded a QEST crafts scholarship that allowed her to study MA Glass and Architecture at the National Glass Centre.  She currently uses the skills she has acquired to create new glass works inspired by geometric patterns.   

Fascinated by the commonality of geometric forms in sacred art, Eleanor seeks to apply these ideas in her glass work. Each pattern can be recreated using light and line to create a unique and meditative piece of art.
