I was born in Edinburgh and educated in Scotland and have always had a special interest in Art and in 3 dimensional design in particular. After leaving school I worked for a number of years in a small silver workshop in the North of Scotland.

In 1995 I enrolled in the HND Jewellery Design course at the Surrey Institute of Art & Design in Epsom. I studied there before transferring to the 3 Dimensional Design Degree course at Farnham Surrey. I graduated from there with a BA(Hons.)in 1998. Since then I have been working as a Studio Jeweller from my home in Epsom Surrey.

I exhibit at a number of venues around the South of England and have had work in some well known Galleries throughout the UK.
I am a Member of The Society of Designer Craftsmen (SDC) and The Association for Contemporary Jewellery (ACJ). I am also on the Craft Council National Index of Makers.

The Inspiration for my work comes from nature really and gardens in particular, the colours found in them year round. I have combined my interest in embroidery with metalwork, working mainly in silver, precious stones, pearls and hand dyed silks. I produce work, which reflects my affinity with traditional skills and values but which I feel has a contemporary twist.

My Designs are available to order and commissions and special sizes or details can be discussed by phone or by appointment.
