The Originals
The artworks that started it all.
Many of these early pieces introduced ideas that collectors still ask Linda to reimagine today. They remain an important part of her artistic journey.
THE ORIGINAL HARD EDGE GLASS ART GALLERY
'Earrings'
SIZE: 18.5" | LARGE ROUNDEL ON CUSTOM STAND
The collector’s inspiration:
The collector was me. I wanted to create a face. Strangely, the focus of the work ended up being the earrings, which is why I gave it its title Earrings
Overall I loved it's big impact.
Linda's inspiration:
I wanted to combine geometry and portraiture into a single piece with high impact. The result more than satisfied me.
The collector said:
The buyer is a lifelong glass art collector, and was one of the few people I invited to the Studio to see it.
She was so delighted she decided to rename it "Linda" - very flattering!
Subsequently we've had regular chats on WhatsApp.
Recently she said "We're still madly in love with our "Linda""
'Chequer'
SIZE: 18.5" | LARGE ROUNDEL ON CUSTOM STAND
The collector’s inspiration:
The collector was me. I wanted to create something with really bright, vibrant strong colours - and somehow the black and white chequer slipped in!
Linda's inspiration
This was based on an old design I'd had in my head for years that deserved to get out.
It holds the record as my most Reimagined work to date, in response to requests like “I love the original. Can I have another one like it please?”
I had no idea at the time that 'Chequer' would turn out to be one of my most popular concepts, which I've since reimagined in a number of different ways.
The collector said:
After purchasing, the buyer said "The nice thing about it being on a stand is that it’s easy to move and I’m sure I will change its position several times. I find with any artwork that when you first position it, you really appreciate it, but after a while your eye becomes so used to seeing it there, that you almost stop seeing it. Moving things around really makes you notice them again."
'Bristol balloons'
TWELVE PIECE MONTAGE SCENE
The collector’s inspiration:
Did you know there's a famous Balloon Fiesta held in Bristol every year that's been going on for almost 50 years?
The collector has a powerful memory of this event, seeing all the magnificent hot air balloons soaring effortlessly up into the sky - from back when he was a student at the university.
He wanted to bring it to life on one of his walls, the way he remembered, in all it's colour and glory.
Linda's inspiration:
This was such fun because the collector had already bought a black Bristol skyline - all I had to do was make some beautiful balloons in the right colours and proportions to montage over the skyline until the whole thing worked!
This was my first set of balloons.
They were so popular on instagram that I've been asked for individual and sets of glass balloons eight times now.
The collector said:
"He was kind enought to send me photographs of the balloons on his wall at home, of which he was obviously very proud.
There's nothing nicer than seeing my own art in its final setting, where it's intended to be."
'Rainbowl'
SIZE: 11.5" | MEDIUM BOWL
The collector’s inspiration:
Already a keen collector of my glass art, the collector saw my small square rainbow bowl, and immediately commissioned a much larger round one to add to her glass art collection.
Linda's inspiration:
There was always a really beautiful feeling in taking many, many individual pieces of coloured glass and forming them into a unique Rainbowl design.
The Rainbowl idea was one of my earliest inspirations, and actually won me 14.7M views online - a colossal figure for a start-up artist.
So it was very fulfilling to develop this as a new bowl shape in a reasonably large size.
The collector said:
"Love, love, love my rainbow glass dish so much. Great quality & attention to detail."
'Stairs 2'
SIZE: 12.5" | MEDIUM ROUNDEL AND 2 MINIATURES
The collector’s inspiration:
The original 'Stairs' was quite large, so the collector asked if I could do one a bit smaller, but with 2 Miniatures to support it.
I thought this was a great idea, as I loved the original 'Stairs' and welcomed the chance to revisit the design.
Linda's inspiration:
To get there, I completely reimagined all the colours while keeping close to the original design elements which I then extended into the Miniatures.
I always have a strong feeling for abstract architectural works.
The collector said:
Oh my gosh, everything is so beautiful!! More beautiful than I imagined!"
'Chequer bowl'
SIZE: 15" | LARGE BOWL
The collector’s inspiration:
The collector was me. I was so taken with the Chequer roundel that I wanted to reimagine it as a Chequer bowl.
Linda's inspiration:
I always liked bowls and often feel I don't make enough if them as they're not so readily seen as 'real art'.
All the same I couldn't resist doing this one, especially as 'Chequer' roundel made such an impression on me personally.
And as it happened, this bowl was quickly snapped up by an existing collector.
The collector said:
"Thanks again for your beautiful art and bringing some sunshine into our home."
'Swirls' bowl
SIZE: 11" | MEDIUM BOWL
The collector’s inspiration:
She said "This piece is going into my living room which has a lot of red, but I want something to replace all the items on my small table. I don’t think things have to match. I just want a dramatic touch of blue in the space."
Linda's inspiration:
The swirls design is a favourite of mine, so I was delighted when this lady wanted to reimagine it, and as a bowl!
She was quite particular over the colours, so I sent her various photographs of the actual glass held up to the light, so she could see exactly what she was getting. I was glad when I got it right for her.
The collector said:
"I worked with Linda on a bowl to get the colors just right. It worked out just right!"
'Floral 2'
SIZE: 12.5" | MEDIUM ROUNDEL & 2 MINIATURES
The collector’s inspiration:
My collector wanted to gift his wife 'the experience of working with me' on a roundel - as an artistic partnership.
Linda's inspiration:
She's a discerning lady with a very clear vision and lots of ideas, so I had to work hard to get everything exactly as she wanted, but it was well worth it, as the final Floral roundel and 2 miniatures make a striking focal point in the room.
The collector said:
"You have no idea how excited I am to own a piece of your work as I admire and love it so much.
I must say Billy really hit it out of the park when choosing an item from you as my 50th birthday gift. "
"Well, I am just ecstatic about how they came out!! They are just so beautiful, and I love the stands!
Thank you so much for your hard work on these…I will treasure them forever!! I feel lucky to have some of your beautiful work in my home!!
Have a great day, and thank you again!!"
