My jewellery is a way in which I can express my love of the natural world and British countryside. It is my "secret garden" where the sun always shines and things grow well.

I grew up in Cheshire, lived for some time in Aberdeenshire and have now settled in Hampshire and all three counties have provided me with a rich source of inspiration for my work. I particularly love meadow and woodland habitats and the flora and fauna of these have provided the stimulus for many of my pieces and feature unambiguously in my collections.

Working predominantly with silver and yellow gold, I enjoy manipulating these precious metals directly, to re-create organic forms with fluid shapes and textures. Whilst I love both symmetry and asymmetry in my designs, I am more enchanted by balance and need to create pieces with a sense of purity and grace.

I am fascinated by the ways in which I can translate my inspirations into reality and can become engrossed in discovering the technical solutions to my designs. Whilst I am clear in my aims, my pieces often evolve at the workbench and can progress to produce the basis for new works.

Above all, my collections are a way for me to embrace nature and delight in the radiance of life.
