about
My jewellery is hand-crafted, with original designs which are elegant, playful and, above all, tactile and sensuous to wear. I work in gold and silver, sometimes incorporating interesting natural or synthetic materials, and the occasional gemstone.
My inspiration is drawn from the landscapes I love, in particular the ocean and beaches which resonate strongly from my early years growing up in various countries around the world. I find beauty in natural forms – waves and ripples, pebbles and driftwood, leaves and petals – and the effects time and the elements have on them. I am inspired by organic shapes and fascinated by their complex yet beautiful interplay, exploring how they interlock, layer and move.
I have been silversmithing since 2001, and have been fortunate enough to learn from some of the leading makers in London. I employ traditional metalworking techniques alongside more experimental approaches, with emphasis on craftsmanship and high production values. Now based in my West London studio, I continue to derive pleasure from making jewellery, working on my collections, limited editions and commissions.
