Silver, gold, freshwater pearls, with both precious and semi-precious stones are my materials and canvas. Saws, files, drills and hammers are my tools. I create works of art to wear and use.
 
The natural world of landscape and flora, texture, legends and poetry are the main sources of my inspiration.
