About

Creating jewellery provides me with a deep sense of fulfilment. I prefer working on one-off pieces, giving myself a challenge with each new body of work. What I love about jewellery making is the wealth of techniques and materials, ensuring a lifetime of learning and improving. I enjoy adding an element of playfulness to my works, often with moving parts. With a background in science, I particularly relish the technicality of little engineered pieces. I feel very lucky to be able to work from my home studio, overlooking the beautiful Wellington harbour and a nature reserve - surrounded by birdsong and my own various pets.

I also teach jewellery making in the Wellington area: The Learning Connexion in Lower Hutt and Workspace Studios in Wellington. These are very happy work places, and being able to help people on their creative journey and watching them succeed is a great feeling.
