"My work is influenced by natural forms and contrasts of colour. I explore the possibilities of how objects can describe line, form and volume within space and in relation to the body. Interested in simple mechanisms that allow objects to be worn, I am fascinated in combining colour and contrast of materials in a piece of work."

Recently my work has concentrated on wearable jewellery. I have created ranges of jewellery influenced by fashion trends with the passion to accessorise. My designs have been tailored to suit my love of simple forms but yet express both delicate and bold statements.
