My jewellery is an exploration of vitreous enamels, inspired by pattern, texture, colour and shape in the natural environment. 

​

I studied drawing and painting at Glasgow School of Art and after several years of teaching, I completed a course in silversmithing, where I developed a love of working in metal. The progression to working in enamels seemed a natural development for me with my painting background.

​

Drawing is also an important part of gathering ideas and inspiration for my work. 

​

My jewellery pieces are created in copper or silver with vitreous enamels, drawing my inspiration from patterns, texture, colour, and shapes in the natural environment. I love to explore the possibilities of these elements in my work through various techniques in enamelling. I often create individual one-off designs, taking advantage of the experimental aspect of the enamelling process in each piece.
