Kinetic Spirit

As a jewellery maker I love the process of making! I can get “lost” in my studio for hours. Colour and texture are important elements of my work. The flowers in my garden and the dynamic colours and light of the ocean provide an abundant source of inspiration. To create my pieces I use a variety of techniques; fold forming, enameling and metal clay, resulting in one of a kind and limited edition jewellery.
