Artist’s Statement
"My work is inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us, and by the ways we manifest and express our interpretations of that beauty. Within urban life forms of nature and beauty are too often inaccessible, through my work I try to provide this connection esthetically. I find inspiration in everything from architecture to found objects and patterns of rain on water. I create jewellery that encourages people's individuality and connection to truth, nature and beauty. All things worn by people can have purpose and meaning that fulfills lives in some way, creating balance, both within and between, the individual, the community and the natural world. In my work I hope to bring this alive by playfully exploring traditional and contemporary ideas of design.”
