As an artist I've always enjoyed experimenting with pattern, colour & texture, my jewellery designing has naturally evolved from this...and I really enjoy creating it!

Over the years I've built up an extensive collection of quirky, vintage and retro glass, metal, ceramic and stone beads and buttons (many years ago my Granny started me off by giving me her button collection!). I'm always on the lookout for wonderful beads and buttons to add to my collection, so I have interesting jewels to work with and inspire my designs.

I begin by setting out three design boards in front of me, as I delve into my treasure box of beads and buttons I move beads from one board to another as ideas develop.

I experiment with different combinations, designs and techniques until I've created that special necklace or pair of earrings.

My jewellery is elegant, timeless and ageless. I draw on my experience as an artist to create funky yet classic designs. One buyer at a recent Show told me "I shall feel that I am wearing ART" ... She took 5 pairs back to London with her!

I hope you like them.
