KT left her home near Loch Ness at the age of 16, to persue a career in Art. She came across glass blowing at Cumbria School of Art, and went on to study a degree in Glass Design in Farnham, where she began to develop her own definite style, and now teaches part-time.
After working and travelling around both Europe and USA working in many diverse factories and studios, KT set up her own Glass Business, blowing contemporary glass, and designing glass for industry. KT's "Fruit Series" is semi-sculptural glass, giving everyday kitchen items a colourful and exotic slant. The pieces are an affordable marriage of Art, Function and femininity.
Her new series of work focuses on the architectural construction of insects, using glass to animate their features. The forms, subjects and concepts represent nature with an ironic, cartoon-like humorous flavour in their colour and construction.
