Artist Statement

I make contemporary jewellery and small objects using precious metals and stones. I value practical hand making skills in the creation of my designs and I enjoy letting the material influence and dictate how the pieces of work evolve during production. I have become increasingly interested in pattern and texture as a result of a trip to Iceland where I found the linear texture and patterns in the vastness of the dramatic volcanic landscape very inspiring, my work since then has been expanding and exploring landscape ideas.

Silver and 18ct gold rings with lovely unusual coloured diamonds and textures from landscapes.
Small metal bowls with chased textures from details of Swedish dry stone walls. Silver plated then oxidised to create colour and contrast.
