Welcome to my website... please feel free to browse around and contact me if you have any queries.  Commissions are welcome!

The style of my Jewellery is strongly connected to the environment I live in.  I grew up on the stunning south coast and soon developed a passion for my local beaches and their ever-changing elements.  My designs are purposely made from contrasting materials collected directly from the beach, which are then sensitively captured.  The silver is then brushed to give a frosty satin finish.  My experimental approach has incorporated a variety of materials but I am particularly drawn to organic materials which can be given a new leases of life such as shells, slate, pebbles and sea glass- all of which have been individually selected from the shore. 

An alternative strand of my jewellery designs reflects a period of study undertaken which explored 'jewellery' & 'ceramics' and includes an unusual combination of silver & mini slip-cast porcelain pieces.  Since discovering these two very different disciplines I have created a collection of jewellery which embodies both materials in a sensitive but contrasting style.  I love to see the messages expressed by contrasting materials.     

My inspirations are very specific and draw on my desire of the coast and obsession with beach-combing and collecting natural objects.  I am particularly inspired by the ever changing seasons which bring new and exciting treasures to the shore line....waiting to be discovered!
