I work mainly in silver, introducing colour and texture to my work through the use of semi-precious stones or gold.
My influences come from nature, and from art history, particularly William Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement. Although I work from my drawings and designs, I find that many pieces develop and change through interaction with and manipulation of the material. Designing and making is very much a journey of discovery.
