'In 2005 I began a jewellery making class at my local college. I found myself fascinated by the processes involved in working with metal and as the course progressed, I had the chance to study part time for a degree, which I did, alongside my day job and family life, gaining a first class honors degree in Three Dimensional Design Crafts (Jewellery).

​

I spent many years making jewellery together with working part time and looking after my family. In April 2019 I decided to pursue jewellery and metal craft full time, giving me the opportunity to be creative in my little workshop while also having the flexibility to enjoy family life.

​

Much of my inspiration comes from nature and the sea and also looking back at the beautiful art left behind by our ancestors. I love our coast and country, mythology, ancient landscapes, standing stones, rock carvings and British wildlife - especially hares which feature in a lot of my work. I'm also a little obsessed with vikings! I am drawn to metal that has a patina, looks aged and weathered, a little rustic in appearance which often reflects in my pieces. Beautiful gemstones often enhance my work, sourced from my very trusted suppliers.'
