The inspiration for my work comes from the environment I am surrounded by; firstly with something that catches my eye, and then when it touches my heart I set about trying to capture that inspiration within a beautiful piece of jewellery. After attending a jewellery and silversmithing course at West Dean College, I set up a studio near the South Downs in West Sussex. Five years later, in search of a new creative landscape, I moved to Devon and have lived and worked here since 1998.
