"I have always loved painting and drawing people both real and imaginary. For many years I worked in etching, exploring the qualities of line and texture, luminous highlights and intense shadow. In stained-glass I combine these with glowing colour, and the strong, expressive rhythms of the lead-lines.
Stained-glass has long been used to convey a spiritual message in places of worship but nowadays, it is effectively used to bring colour and atmosphere, joy and movement to all kinds of secular buildings, for which I am happy to create work.
I am haunted by the destiny of my people, and in my most personal work, I create a mosaic of images exploring my Jewish identity. I am inspired by ritual objects and symbols, by our literature whose power and poetry resonates through the ages, by the drama of events in history. Above all, I seek to commemorate people for whom there is no other monument"
