Artist statement
A career long graphic designer, I retrained in silversmithing and jewellery design in Glasgow, 2016 and since then have created small collections of silver jewellery inspired predominantly by 1950s & 60s architecture, fabric and furniture design - lots of geometric shapes and tactile textures. Exhibiting with printmaker Hetty Haxworth.
Extended Bio
After a successful career as a graphic designer I rediscovered a passion for metal work and took a course studying jewellery design and silversmithing in Glasgow. Graduating in 2016 I set up a home studio and began combining my design and metalwork skills to create small collections of jewellery mostly in 925 silver and inspired, predominantly, by 1950s and 1960s architecture, fabric, and furniture design - lots of geometric shapes and tactile textures, each design original and unique.
I'm looking forward to joining Hetty Haxworth this year in her open studio in Fettercairn, as friends and sometime collaborators I have been able to make connections to the area and its people.
