SOUTH

COLLECTION 2025

The inspiration for this year’s jewellery collection led me south, in the darkest month of the year, to the sweeping Jurassic coastline.

During my self-directed art residency, I spent every daylight hour sketching, hammering, and searching for small fossil treasures. The weather was gentle, the palette cool and soft, and both sea and stone moved in quiet, curving forms.

From all this exploring, and plenty of experimenting, emerged a collection I could never have fully imagined at the start.

Walking new paths, both literally and within my making, brings me such joy. I push myself through process and expression, and something always reveals itself… just like the tiny fossil I discovered on the shoreline.

I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I loved creating it...

NORTH
COLLECTION 2024

There's something about the far flung reaches of our island that make nature seem louder, bigger. Perhaps it’s the lack of manmade distractions? There’s space for nature to be seen and heard in all it's glory. Whatever it is, none can doubt the peace and pleasure to be had in one of these special places.

Early this summer, I had the joy of taking a self directed art residency in the coastal highlands of Scotland. My new collection North, is a response to my time there.

The jewellery has evolved through making many sketches and quick paintings, taking hundreds of photo’s and above all, spending time to explore ideas. I have aimed to bring a perfect blend of art, nature and place to this collection

The collection reflects the haunting rugged beauty of Highland Scotland, with its brooding skies, rocky and sandy shores and rippling ocean. The drama of this landscape is echoed through dark patinas, while accents of gold provide striking contrast and light. Signature natural textures, such as seaweed, leaf skeletons, feathers, all carefully hand foraged, pressed and prepared, capture a permanent fragment of nature to carry with you.

I hope you enjoy it...

LEAFSCAPES
COLLECTION 2023

Walking in a woodland or forest is such a soothing experience. The trees who have often seen more years than ourselves, stand stoic and steadfast.

In summer the leaves seem to whisper to each other as they flutter in the breeze. As the nights turn in they drop those same leaves like little teardrops. It is not a sad thing. They are getting ready for their sleep as they see out the long winter nights.

It is in the depths of winter that my foraging begins. Nestled in the leaf litter are the beautiful fine featured treasures of those lost summer days. Leaf skeletons. Each one completely unique, just like our fingerprints.

Though lace like and delicate, the leaf structure will hold to pass through my rolling mill. Embossing its imprint forever onto silver or gold…

This collection is a celebration of natures beautiful, yet often unseen details. I hope you enjoy it.
