My excitement lies within ....
investigating reactions from raw materials, ​
being able to manipulate these into varying forms playing with colour and texture.  
​I merge contrasting finishes together from heavily textured into smooth and refined
 anticipating a juxtaposition between severity and delicacy.

This represents the graduation of raw materials through to what the consumer would see,
triggering thoughts and connotations of mining
and the original qualities of the materials before human intervention.
​I build an intimate relationship with the materials I’m using, finding excitement in a new texture in molten silver,
the uncertainty of cuttlefish cast coming out, the possibility of finding innovative ways to use all materials.

Personal Profile
I am a contemporary art jewellery designer and maker. I have a 1st class degree in Glass, Ceramics, Metal and Jewellery from Farnham UCA.
​I completed my initial training at what now is the BAJ in Hatton garden and from there onwards and upwards found my connection with the wonderful world of jewellery. 
I had a semester studying at Moholy-Nagy in Budapest where I did more life learning than jewellery making but went back to my last year at Farnham with a fire burning and an itch to make none stop! 

​I am now based in Barcelona where I moved to join Klimt02, absorbing all things current in art jewellery. Being warmly welcomed into the city and the team I learnt invaluable lessons, however after making half heartedly on my balcony I craved a bench again! I am now revisiting the same fight I have always had with myself where I explore materials I am finding on the streets of Barcelona versus a pull back to the traditions of using silver and metals. I am creating two collections that are some how running alongside each other as I go backwards and forwards between silver and seed pods occasionally daring to mix the two worlds together. Both being a dialogue of my time in this city. ​
