Creativity is a fundamental part of who I am, so, whatever role or situation I am in, I manage to find a way to use my creative skills, be this in a practical or theoretical sense. On my journey through life I have engaged in a variety of crafts and genres of art and acquired skills with a broad range of mediums and materials, including wire, metals, gemstones, textiles, clay, plastics and in particular, I love combining all of these in mixed media projects. In 2006, I studied to become an adult educator so that I could share my skills and passion with others, and this continues to bring me great pleasure.
In 2011, I started my own full-time Jewellery business and trade as a jewellery designer, artist, teacher and now also add Author to my titles! The majority of my work has been as a freelance designer with 'JewelleryMaker' TV, 'Make and Sell Jewellery' Magazine and more recently demonstrating on live shows for Chalmers Gems. I am also lucky enough to teach workshops online and all over the UK, either for groups, individuals or retailers. I have recently relocated to The East Riding of Yorkshire, where I am starting to establish more frequent in- person workshops, events and bespoke jewellery collections for independent retail outlets.
