About

I am a ceramic artist in the Cotswolds. My creative path began in my twenties, working with a goldsmith in London’s Covent Garden, where I designed bespoke jewellery and developed a eye for fine detail. Later in life, I got to pursue my dream and study Art, graduating with a BA in 2018 followed by an MA in 2021 at University of Gloucestershire. My work bridges traditional jewellery heritage and contemporary fine art — creating jewellery that is not only collectable and unique, but also deeply personal. Each of my designs begins with a drawing and a carefully curated palette, before being brought to life through three firings. Hand-painted pigments and glazes are layered to create delicate, unique markings, then finished with metallic lustres — ranging from18kt gold and platinum to copper, bronze, amber, and mother of pearl. To complete the work, I use Italian-made sterling silver findings plated in 18kt yellow, white, or rose gold.
