Using traditional silversmithing techniques I design and handcraft works inspired by natures flora. My main focus is in the creation of botanical recreations of classic flowers, alongside floral inspired patterns in the form of decorative brooches.

The majority of my pieces are made from 100% recycled silver, although I have been known to work with recycled gold and other non-precious metals from time to time to add colour and allure to the patterned forms.

My practice is small scale individually handmade works with a focus on sustainability and the environment as my aim is to highlight the beauty in the world of flora by producing long-lasting works to be treasured.

My journey began as a child, playing with copper wire in my dad’s garage; coiling, twisting, and experimenting just for the joy of it. That early curiosity led me to study at Hastings College of Art, and later to pursue a BA in Silversmithing & Metalwork at Camberwell College of Arts. Here I learnt traditional techniques and discovered my inspiration in both nature and textiles.

Whilst following a career in organic food wholesale, I returned to my creative roots and completed an MA in Jewellery & Silversmithing at the London Metropolitan University. During this time, I launched my silversmithing business and attended The Goldsmiths’ Centre’s Getting Started course. I’m still guided by that same sense of curiosity and joy, now channelled into creating intricate floral pieces for others to enjoy.
