About

I am inspired by light, colour and form, texture and movement - nature in all its grandeur. It is impossible to recreate this but I hope to infuse a little part of it into my work.

I usually begin a new piece when I am taken with a certain stone or object, often from a collection I have gathered over the years, knowing that one day I will be able to weave it into my silver work to create a unique, personal piece of jewellery. I sometimes make a drawing when I see the finished result clearly but often ideas change en route and take on a new perspective. It is a living process.

I have lived in various countries, mainly in Mexico where I learned my craft with silversmiths from Taxco, a silver mining town where most people earn their livelihoods from silver. Designing costumes for the theatre, film and opera plus a certain feeling for drama translates into my jewellery - jewellery after all, compliments the costume.

My pleasure is to see my creations come to life when they are worn and enjoyed.
