I am a self taught mixed media jeweller. In my work I try to combine materials outside the conventional and expected forms. For me, each piece evokes a sense of place, time or environment. Brought up on the Sussex coast, I have always collected materials, wood, ceramic, sea glass and a variety of found objects. Living now in London, I work & collect in the same way along the banks of the Thames. I create bespoke, sculptural necklaces, brooches & bracelets for my clients.

Origin 2011 22-28 September 2011
I am looking forward to doing the Origin Show once more this year where I will be showing my latest collection of necklaces,brooches & bracelets.
I've been working with new bolder shapes for the necklaces and using found metals from the seashore mixed with filed Victorian nails and pins from the Thames.I've contrasted beaten discs of copper next to hammered silver spirals too.
I've really enjoyed working with glass this summer from my large collection of weathered bottle fragments,big chunks of optic glass and tumbled sea glass.I have used an amazing range of shades from rich emerald greens and sepias, burnt umbers and chocolate browns, through to aqua marine and oil dipped rainbow silvers and whites.
I hope everyone can make it.
