About my work
Many things have inspired my work; I am forever battling with weighing
up between saleability, practicality and something being aesthetically
right. When something fits up to these criteria it is very pleasing.

I use sterling silver with 18ct
yellow gold and semi-precious stones such as garnets, amethysts,
tourmalines, moonstones and labradorites. All designs can be made
using gold and different stones, within artistic boundaries.

I use various techniques in my
work but I do favour a technique called roller texturing. This
gives the metal an air of subtlety; it enriches the surface without
taking away anything from the over all form. For the texturing
I use lots of materials such as handmade paper, bonsai leaves
and woven fabrics, each of which transfers to the metal its own
character.
