Artist Statement

 

I design and make mixed media jewellery from my workshop in Bingley, West Yorkshire.  I work predominantly in silver, but like to incorporate other materials such as vintage plastic and glass to add colour and texture to my work. My jewellery is based around botanical design, taking inspiration from the hedgerows, woodland and moorland near to where I live.

I make each of my pieces by hand using traditional silversmithing techniques. At the moment I have been experimenting with using vintage wood which has led to a series of statement pendants and brooches.
