Artist Statement
After earning my BA (Hons) in 3D Design (Metalwork and Jewellery) from the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham in 2006, I found my true creative home in Somerset. Working from my garden studio alongside the joy of raising my two boys, I create ethical, wearable art that bridges traditional craftsmanship and environmental storytelling.
Nature is my ultimate source of inspiration. My jewellery serves as a joyful celebration of the natural world and a quiet archive of its fragile beauty—capturing the fleeting brilliance of the present while highlighting ecological treasures that may not survive into the future. By working exclusively with recycled precious metals, I strive to create heirloom-quality pieces that carry deep meaning without costing the earth.
My Practice
My signature style relies on a strong illustrative feel, achieved by layering sheet metals to create depth. Rejecting mass production, I rely on traditional jewellery making techniques using simple hand tools to ensure every piece remains entirely unique. I frequently integrate the ancient art of Keum-boo alongside careful gold-plating allowing the interplay of gold and silver. You will often find my metalwork combined with traditional hand wet felting. Wool is a beautiful, natural material that I can source locally, bringing soft textures and vibrant colour to my work. I love this unusual play of materials, textures and colour. By juxtaposing refined precious metals with a raw, natural material like fleece, my jewellery gently challenges our perceptions, inviting us to question what we truly define as precious.
My Collections
The Apple Blossom Collection
The First Whispers of Spring
The Apple Blossom Collection is born from that magical moment when winter softens and the very first signs of life emerge. Inspired by the delicate, fleeting beauty of orchards in bloom, this series is more than a celebration of spring—it is a reflection on our profound human reliance on these quiet natural cycles.
The Bee Collection
An Homage to Our Pollinators
The Bee series is a heartfelt tribute to the tireless, vital workers of our ecosystems. Bees are the quiet architects of the natural world, yet they face unprecedented modern struggles. This collection is designed to celebrate their industrious beauty while gently raising awareness for the conservation of our honeybee populations.
The Ocean Collection
Wonders from Beneath the Surface
The Ocean Collection turns its gaze toward the fluid, mysterious world beneath the waves, focusing entirely on our planet's endangered marine species. The sea is home to some of the most breathtaking diversity on Earth, yet its inhabitants face immense environmental challenges. This series seeks to document their beauty and keep their vital presence close to mind.
