"My acrylic and silver jewellery has evolved from a love of colour and simple, abstract patterns. I am particularly drawn to 1950's fabric designs, such as those of Lucienne Day.
I have been designing and making jewellery since graduating from Brighton Polytechnic in 1992. I began by using mainly geometric forms enhanced by resist-dying in bright contrasting colours. Recent designs have moved towards softer, more organic imagery reminiscent of pebbles, leaves and plant forms.
I use innovative small batch production techniques to produce jewellery that is unique, modern and emminently wearable.
For my current collection, I draw my shapes on the computer and have them laser cut. I add surface design by laser etching or drawing lines by hand with a mini drill. Then I dye the pieces and polish back to reveal colour in the etched lines or on the edges, and finish by adding my own hand made findings."
