Art is more than decor. It tells the story of who you are.
SOME MOMENTS DESERVE MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPH
Most collectors find new art on a gallery wall or exhibition.
But owning a commissioned artwork is something very different.
It’s not just acquiring beauty or significance.
It’s creating something original that could never exist without you.
"You have done such a fantastic job of capturing memories and beauty in these pieces of glass."
"I love it!"
"Thank you very much for your transparent, professional and honest work! We are really happy with the result!"
IMAGINE TAKING SOMETHING THAT REALLY MATTERS TO YOU, a fond memory, a loved person, a special place or memorable event or milestone - some meaningful part of your life journey.
Now imagine celebrating it with a unique commissioned work in Hard Edge art glass.
This is why collectors come to Linda, when a memory deserves more than a photograph, and a room deserves more than decoration.
Whether you keep it for yourself, or give it as a gift to someone special, it’s art that came from you, there in all its beauty, fused into life as brilliant Hard Edge glass art.
You can honestly say: “This piece was made for me, with me.”
"Such precision matched with vibrant creativity - just wonderful!"
"I love how you asked for, then followed, my input about the piece."
WHY COMMISSION INSTEAD OF BUY?
Commissioning may feel unfamiliar.
Perhaps you’ve never thought of it before?
But commissioning is how serious collectors or those with a unique eye for beauty elevate art from “something I own” into “I was there at the birth!”
Every commission comes with a richly documented journey
An illustrated book or booklet capturing every stage of your artwork creation.
A certificate of authenticity that recognises your role in the creative process.

THE "UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE"
I invite you to be part of an "Unforgettable Experience", a rare opportunity to be part of the creative process, to witness your inspiration developing before your eyes, as living artwork, taking shape, from concept to completion.
"Your mastery and precision in assembling and cutting glass is phenomenal"
IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST YOURSELF
It’s about enjoying the experience of collaboration, seeing extraordinary colours come alive in a way that feels like they belong only to you.
You'll eventually own a piece of fine Hard Edge glass artwork that feels intensely personal.
It’s also one of the finest gifts you can give a loved one, allowing them to share the Unforgettable Experience of creating something special with me.
Together, we create something meaningful and lasting.
Why work with me
Collectors of my work return again and again. I'm told it's for my eye for colour and form.
In homes where muted tones often dominate, my highly colourful Hard Edge art glass becomes a focus for life and warmth.
Collectors tell me my colour ideas speak to moods and memories they sometimes coudn't even put a name to.
It's like my art evokes something from inside them.
Many express this simply as “it makes me feel happy”.
When you gift a commission, you're capturing a moment in time for the people you love.
Long after today, your piece will stand as a testament; a story passed down through generations.
"The spiral of the darker shell is stunning.
It is very exciting to see it reach this stage!"
YOUR FIRST STEP
YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.
That’s my gift. I know how to listen, interpret and transform your inspirations into a significant contemporary glass artwork - one that could not exist for anyone else.
Whether you're imagining a striking piece of Hard Edge art glass for your collection - or a Miniature desktop masterpiece that fills you with joyful colour over morning coffee - the commissioning process begins with a simple conversation.
"The colours are looking beautiful!"
"The work is looking stunning!"
"It looks beautiful - I am delighted"
One customer said:
“Hi! Would it be possible to get this medium size Chequers reimagined for me with a little more of the cobalts added to all the gorgeous blues, greens & reds?”
"It was really exciting to visit the studio of @glassartbylinda this morning to see my second commission taking shape!
I have always loved shells and this beautiful work in fused glass will take pride of place in my new home!
Such precision matched with vibrant creativity - just wonderful!
Linda has been a pleasure to work with during these commissions."
