UK STAINED GLASS NEWS May 2007
CHESTER LE STREET: OUT OF MY MIND
As a lifelong drawer and painter I've always carried and used pocket sized sketchbooks that have informed my paintings. However since giving up teaching I have been seduced by the beauty of glass, the immediacy of working with it in lead and the sheer joy of creating in a new medium. My glass is done by hand in the traditional way and is based on my existing artistic skills and influenced whenever possible by the work of my favourite artists.
