Mother Nature and her forms reveal to me a sense of freedom and perfection. The simple beauty and detail of the natural environment instils in me a spirited sensibility, which can often extend to the mindful shaping of an idea, design or piece of work.

 

Though sometimes… developing jewellery comes from the process of playing and working directly with my chosen material.  I feel comfortable working this way, what evolves is an understanding of the material and its nature and a design that is able to emerge with a certain sense of freedom.
