JEWELLERY, MIXED MEDIA, PAINTING, sculpture

Gosh, how does one describe their artistic selves? I make, therefore I am. Apologies to Descartes for borrowing and altering his philosophical principle. However, I’m sure that a lot of fellow artists will be nodding their heads.

I am a confirmed stuff-smith, a contemporary jewellery artist, painter, and general dabbler in any creative pursuit. Responding creatively to a concept or story is what makes me alive.

MEDIA

I love working with metal (silver, gold, copper, brass, aluminium….) as well as a range of natural and found materials. I also love painting and mark making with whatever medium is relevant at the time. I’ve also dabbled with ceramics and print making.
