My work is about touch and play. I like it to invite you to handle the object, to explore the surfaces, interact with it and I want this to be a pleasing experience. It may contain secrets or surprises, should be well made, and is likely to have moving parts. The jewellery may often be worn in different ways and I like it to be comfortable, secure and enjoyable to wear. Nearly all of my work contains balls of some sort, I do not know why!

 

I trained as a doctor and worked in hospital before moving to General Practice which is both very challenging and satisfying. I became a part time partner in a large practice in 2002 and continue to work as a G.P. particularly enjoying interaction with patients, colleagues, staff as well as the practical aspects of the job.

 

I am a regular visitor to museums, exhibitions and galleries, and use landscape, architecture and the natural world as a basis for structure and ornamentation as well as a source of inspiration for the objects that I make.
