- Biography
I am a studio jeweller from Edinburgh, based in East Lothian and I make art jewellery from precious metals, which is mostly one of a kind. At present I am experimenting with new techniques to create organic looking pieces. The tranquillity of nature and the solitude I find in it are precious to me. My work is the result of the things I discover there, transformed by my imagination into something unique. An idea can grow organically from even just one beautiful flower or branch. The idea of a branch with leaves beginning to appear... What I am most aware of is its transiency. Spring is rebirth, summer is nature in full bloom, autumn is the beauty of orange-brown leaves as they fall in nature’s dance and scatter on the ground. Finally, when winter comes, all is laid stark and bare. Then the endless cycle of rebirth begins once more with spring. Yes, I am influenced by the four seasons and the unbroken circle of life.
