A wide range of unique designs many of which include precious and semi-precious stones. Enamelling also features in some of my work. I particularly like asymmetry which gives a natural organic feel to some of my pieces. I also take commissions and remodel old jewellery.

I am a retired teacher, having taught Design and Technology for some 25 years, at a large comprehensive school in West Sussex. As a (rare email) teacher of Resistant Materials, using a variety of tools was already second nature to me, when I decided to take up silversmithing. I worked with a highly skilled metalsmith for about 8 years, before building my own studio with my husband and venturing out on my own. I am a member of Horsham Artists, and Hailsham Artists Network.

I exhibit at Gallery BN5 in Henfield, as well as Cranleigh Arts in Cranleigh High Street. I love learning new skills and techniques and will take any opportunity to enhance and extend my knowledge and working practice.
