sculptural jewellery silverware
​​I've designed and handcrafted jewellery and silverware for clients and art galleries in Northern NSW for close to 20 years. I'm influenced by my innate love of the natural world; it's the strength behind my designs, inspiring me to create sculpted pieces of jewellery and silverware that are unique, earthy and edgy. Each piece has a story, some more bizarre than others.
I was a finalist for The Australian Design Centre's PROFILE 2025 in conjunction with JMGA, the Jewellers and Metalsmiths Groups of Australia for my submission of work "Rekindle". It is currently on exhibit in their Object Gallery space in Darlinghurst.

earrings

I use a mixture of elements, like driftwood, beach stones and sticks, relying on the surrounding bushland and waterways because utilising these natural mediums and features allows me to broaden my artistic repetoire, demonstrating in a symbolic way, the deep connection I have with country.
neckpieces

bracelets
$195 - $560
My work extends the wearer's strength and charisma, symbolising their own unique individuality, connecting on a deeper level, without the use of language but communicating existentially where the choices we make speaks volumes in how we choose to convey our emotions.​​​

I was instructed by Russian artist, sculptor, jeweller and silversmith the late Inessa Fomenko (1930 - 2024) after the birth of my first child. When I completed my instruction with Inessa, I set out to establish my own practice at
Invergowrie, NSW.
flatware
$195 - $560
I work from my studio/workshop, surrounded by beautiful woodland country; it allows me the agency to create freely without inhibition.​ The pieces I create are my own designs, entirely handcrafted by me, piercing, filing, sanding, casting, hammering and polishing, using 100% Recycled Sterling silver and reclaimed copper.
