About the maker:

“I am an aspiring jeweller and enameller, first class graduate and artist in residence in Silversmithing and Jewellery at the Belfast School of Art.

My work fuses traditional jewellery and silversmithing techniques, with a modern aesthetic. From jewellery and silversmithing to enamelling and drawing, I aspire to create art which is unique.

I have always been inspired by nature. My inspirations come from all around me, sometimes it is something small and seemingly mundane that catches my eye. And I like to try and capture its delicacy or beautiful colours in jewellery, enamels or painting.”
