artist statement

I believe that jewellery can communicate tradition, make social commentary, promote unity and give individuals a way of expressing their identity. 

I design and create jewellery to celebrate my enthusiasm for beautiful things. An art form to adorn your body and soul. Crafted with the help of natures bounty of vibrant gems and durable metals. Each piece a sculpture of wearable art.
