  Our world is one in which people are obsessed with bodies both living and dead. Jewellery reflects the human body; it possesses something of the physical, only reaching its full potential when touched. By challenging traditional ideas my work explores the limits of jewellery making, and challenges it's site and utility.

Jewellery offers me the scope to work with a wide range of materials and I am always interested in new products, methods of working and opportunities. I am an associate member of the RBSA along with the Association of Contemporary Jewellers and Embroiderers Guild.

     
  Since graduating with first class honours in Contemporary Craft at Coventry University I have exhibited in London, Birmingham, Coventry and Solihull and have work in private collections.

With a PGCE and membership of the IfL I teach part time in a variety of community settings and with different ability levels for Warwick University and Solihull College. I am currently working in collaboration with Solihull Library and Arts Complex to develop a group of young Solihull artists through the Silver Arts Award scheme.
