Hello & welcome to my little corner of the world. I’m a multidisciplinary artist working with a wide range of media. I’m best known for making contemporary jewellery in silver, gold & anodised aluminium as well as pursuing my passion for upcycling making abandoned jewellery & found objects into new designs.
When not employing traditional Silversmiths’ techniques to create wearable art I’m happily painting vibrant abstract canvasses for exhibition & quirky watercolour birds for my greeting card range. All work is made in my North London studio, at the jewellery bench or as much as time allows, on the beach in North Cornwall!
Having been a guest for several years at the EFOA Christmas fair, I’m delighted to now be a full time member & look forward to seeing you at one of our exhibitions & at our open studio weekends in the Summer.
Everything I make is inspired by my coastal roots growing up where the Thames estuary meets the North Sea. Treasured memories of this varied & quirky coastline are encapsulated in the spirit & soul of my jewellery & joyful art. The contrast of simple beautiful nature with man-made seaside life is translated as rich texture & bold contrast. The colours, textures & ‘essence’ of coastal life remain constant themes in my work.
