artist statement
Jewellery has a profound history, shaping identity and reflecting the beauty of the world around us. For me, jewellery is both a personal journey and a way to inspire others to reimagine themselves. As a blend of traditional and modern, my work explores the natural textures, organic forms, and geometry found in nature. Colour is added using gemstones, enamel, and patina. Each piece conveys a connection to the natural world, using responsibly sourced materials and crafted with meticulous attention to detail. I find joy in how jewellery allows us to wear a story, a piece of art, and a touch of nature.
