“I always change the windows with the seasons and usually never repeat the same design twice.”

Sian explained how she creates her pieces: “It’s mostly acrylic paint, with acrylic paint all you have to do is scrape it off and hoover up the bits and clean the windows as normal then.”

Each piece usually takes between 2-3 hours.
