I was born in Devon and brought up on a farm on the northern edge of Dartmoor, an area which still provides the inspiration for much of my work.

Organic flowing forms, the translucent colours of semi-precious stones, rainbow hues of opals and subtle contrasts of silver and gold, along with river pearls and mother-of-pearl bring richness and variety to my jewellery.

All my work is made by hand with particular attention to fine detail. No casting is involved, so each piece is unique.

I like to create jewellery which is feminine and exciting, believing it equally important that it is both comfortable and a joy to wear.

My work has been commissioned by clients in America, Canada, Australia, Japan and Europe, and exhibited throughout Britain and in Canberra, Australia.

In 2001 I was awarded the Brufords Jewellery Prize for my collection of work in the South West Academy of Fine & Applied Arts Open Exhibition.

I am a member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
