Artist's Statement
My jewellery design and construction is heavily influenced by my 30+ year career in the design industry, spanning a few disciplines such as Graphic, 3D Conceptual & Architectural Interior, always mindful of not just the aesthetics but also the functionality & practicality of a design, aiming for the wearer to have the best experience possible.
My work is inspired by my love of modern architecture & sculpture; I naturally adopt a very simple and bold style to my designs. Following my initial metal smith and jewellery making training, fairly recently I developed my latest collections created from 3D Printed SLS Nylon, utilizing my forma CAD skills, and adorned some of those designs with handmade/finished metal, uniting modern technology with traditional handcrafting techniques.
I have qualifications in 3D & Interior Design & during my studies many years ago; I won 2 awards with Goldsmiths' Craft & Design Council for my Jewellery Shop Interior Concept Design & I plan to embark on a MA in Contemporary Crafts later this year. My current 3D Printed collections are stocked with Kettles Yard Gallery Shop, Cambridge & The British Emporium, Derbyshire.
