I design and make from the heart. I am inspired by nature, the fantasy of Art Nouveau and also spiritually inspired. A part of my soul goes into each piece, so it can be hard to let my pieces go especially my most recent ones! The techniques I specialise in are carving (each piece is a miniature sculpture), wirework and fusing. These techniques are combined with others to create miniature works of art. Often encompassing flowers and more recently animals.
There is usually a little story behind each collection and my quirky take on something. Healing precious and semi precious stones adorn them and my most recent addition is that I am now qualified to infuse them with Angelic reiki. I am currently adding another 'arrow to my bow' which is enamelling - I very much believe in professional development and improving and adding new features and enhancements to my pieces. Enamelling is also a dying craft so it is good to feel I will be able to help in continuing its legacy swell as adding more colour interest and depth to my pieces.
I have very ambitious plans for the future too which focus on helping raise awareness of environmental issues and endangered species as well as raising money for charities that help in these areas.
