- Biography
My recent work is based on wave patterns and maps used in ‘natural’ navigation, developing from recurring themes of the sea and memory of places, particularly the Northern Isles of Scotland.
Images from art and poetry also play an important role in my jewellery. With a background in sculpture, I like sculptural forms in jewellery but there are always interesting textures in the surfaces of my pieces that repay closer examination.
