Artist Statement
I consider my work to be quite varied, producing items from elegant spoons to large chunky necklaces. I use a mixture of traditional and non-traditional techniques producing high end pieces which are highly finished and varied in design. I have a passion for making jewellery and love making new designs, some of which, reflect the local area I live in giving meaning to the pieces.
I reuse the silver or gold, melting the metal down to produce my unique pieces, meaning everything is truly handmade. I have undertaken various commissions including remodelling and offer jewellery making workshops.
I have exhibited at, Craftsmen in the Gallery at Lanercost Priory, D.O.A, Belmont Arts, Hayfield Artists, and at Goldsmiths Hall in London. I have also won a Goldsmith Crafts Council award for a necklace and earrings, fashioned in 18 carat gold.
If you are looking for something unique and individual, come up and find me at Throstle farm in Little Hayfield.
