My work encompasses both silversmithing and jewellery. I am passionate about saw piercing metal- the work that I have tackled has derived from this passion. I am inspired by the world around me in general, but have a particular interest in the natural world.

I work mainly in precious metals which I have explored and experimented with. I love the combination of large areas of silver with details of gold. I also like to explore innovative ways of incorporating stones and pearls with the metal structures both in the silversmithing and jewellery. I work with titanium too, which is such a hard metal, I like to break down its surface and make it appear fluid, soft and free flowing.

With my Silversmithing I have been exploring a new and innovative way of working. That is I carefully pierce cut out shapes in the sheet metal and then raise the piece. As I raise, the pierced out sections alter and change shape. With some of the silversmithing pieces I have punch textured the whole surface before saw piercing then forming the sheet. The resulting pieces resemble flowing fabric.

The jewellery pieces, and my work as a whole explore movement and texture and I like the feeling of immediacy and spontaneity I have expressed in my work.
