At the age of 15 I got the taste for silversmithing when I accompanied my Grandpa to an evening class which I continued going to until I left home to study 3D crafts at Brighton University.

After graduating in 1999, I set up my workshop at Cross St. Studios in Hove where I worked for the next 11 years. I started my business producing a range of silver charms & creating my Polaroid drawings.

My work has developed over the years with a strong illustrative theme running through it. My jewellery has gone from miniature kitchen utensils to the intricate miniature drawings on coins, whilst my drawings of kitchen interiors have moved into printmaking & hand embroidering onto vintage textiles.

I am inspired by the simple day to day objects in our homes, and I love using materials that have lost their purpose and are so full of history to create something new and beautiful. 

I create my coin jewellery by working with the images already on the coins, intricately hand cutting them out and combining the ‘drawings’ like a collage. The coins are given new life and can be treasured for years to come.

My coin jewellery & artwork can be found in homes all over the world.

I am currently living in the West Country with my husband & two young sons, where I continue to enjoy making & developing my work.
