As well as a wide variety of designs that can be viewed on my Instagram page and ordered via email. I also accept commissions for unique, bespoke pieces of jewellery and personalised designs.
Expressing myself through my chosen media whilst designing meaningful lasting objects made to be worn and treasured.
I am an artist and jeweller, working predominately with recycled sterling silver to create unique jewellery inspired by intriguing aesthetics I encounter daily. My sources of inspiration come from my urban environment which I like to abstract from their original meaning. I work intuitively with the metal by collaging, fusing and adding texture. I come from a fine art background, specialising in sculptural objects and mixed-media assemblage, which translates into the visual qualities of my jewellery.
I work from my home-studio as much as possible. Whilst also working for another jeweller 3 days a week.
