Inspirations from decorative motifs and colours from wall coverings and interior fabrics, pets, and simple iconic imagery from around the house inform elements of my designs. Techniques used are intricate hand piercing, surface texturing, and traditional jewellery fabrication skills combining silver with materials such as silk, felt and semi-precious stones.
