As the daughter of an artist I've been marinated in a lifetime of exposure to all modalities of art form from painting and sculpturing down through to glass blowing.

I found my niche working in silver, copper and brass - as well as iron, to make rings, pendants, small containers, whimsy's chains and anything else that captures my imagination. My work is strongly influenced by the past, which is reflected in the traditional silversmithing tools and techniques I prefer to implement rather than the newer - often easier methods of moulding metal to my craft.

Currently I'm learning to make glass beads to compliment my work. Glass, as you may not know is also a form of metal - so it would seem that it's all about the flames and metal with me!
