I craft tangible reflections of the world as I see it. I am driven by the small details that most of us walk past; the intricate fabric that holds up the world we bustle about in. Inevitably, as I scan my daily minutiae, materials and shapes come forward. Small details are my source of distraction and interest.
Making my ideas tangible through art is the way I communicate most naturally with the world. I am a prolific maker, utilising all kinds of materials to create objects. I have been doing this for as long as I can remember.
Formal studies began in the visual arts department exploring multiple mediums including photography, drawing and sculpture before completing a Bachelor of Design in Jewellery and Metalsmithing (1992). Since then (A career spanning 30 years) I have been simultaneously working in the creative floristry industry and designing/making contemporary jewellery from shared and solo studios exhibiting regularly locally and nationally. In 2019, I founded and currently operate a small retail Studio Jewellery Gallery in Semaphore South Australia, creating small scale works for sale, exhibition pieces and private commissions.
