ABOUT THE ARTIST

“I make contemporary jewellery and small objects using silver, 18ct gold and precious 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 recent trip to Iceland where I found the linear texture and patterns in the vastness of the dramatic volcanic landscape very inspiring and much of my work since then has been expanding and exploring landscape ideas. The Icelandic colour pallet also suited me well as I was drawn to the muted colours and was struck by the similarity of these colours to the subtle and gentle colours which occur in metals and precious stones.

I work from my studio in Sheffield.”
