of wings and things glass art I am an artist based in Co. Sligo in Ireland. My qualifications are in Fine Art and Glass. Glass is my chosen medium: I draw on it, paint it, print on it, and then fire it, creating original stained glass pieces. Using the technique of lino-printing I also make unique cards. I find inspiration in the animal world and in human nature, both it's light and dark aspects.

St. Brigid is one of Ireland's patron saints. Her feast day is on February 1st, when we herald the spring.

I designed and created these unique fused glass figures with both the goddess and the saint in mind. Her cloak is adorned with hand-painted mystical spirals and dots and crosses, representing both the earthy human saint and the spiritual goddess.

I chose a bright green glass to represent the spring and the earthy, and a deep blue glass to represent the mystical.


This fused glass St. Brigid figure was fired twice: firstly, all of the pieces were fired to 760°C in a fuse firing, and then fired a second time to 700°C after more hand-painted detail was added.


A hole was drilled in the top of the piece, and it was finished with pale blue twine for hanging.

Each figure is accompanied by a printed note with a short description on the background of the piece.

Size: approx. 21cm x 7cm
