About jewellery design...
My work has evolved from a great interest in recycling and reusing materials, and through exploration I have considered the essential characteristics of materials and how they can be changed to have new life in a completely different context. This transformational approach is only part of my work; it also has to portray something that is of significance to me. I am inspired by Scottish landscapes; therefore I photograph and draw the natural environment.
Being Scottish myself it helps me to express the connection that I have with this country and explore the aspects that I find stunning and precious. My work explores texture and layering, giving a great feeling of depth, warmth, beauty and friendliness.
