MY STORY
I discovered my passion for silversmithing about five years ago. On returning from a few years living in Brazil in 2018 I attended an inspiring jewellery workshop in Liverpool and since then I can honestly say I have been hooked!
Art and design has been part of my life for many years, I studied Fine Art at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle, completed a City & Guilds in Photography and went on to a formal career in the arts. Working with internationally renowned artists was a privilege and I have always looked for a personal outlet for my creativity.
​
I am inspired by urban architecture, shadows and reflections and often use the photographs I have taken to inform new minimal shapes and textures in my pieces. I find my inspiration in every day life. Ordinary things creating extraordinary shapes, shadows and lines.
Shadow & Line officially launched in Summer 2020. My workshop is in the heart of my home and it was there (in between home-schooling my two boys) that I discovered the joy of designing and creating my own bespoke pieces.
​
Along with the large selection of pieces shown on this website, I also take commissions for that special piece of jewellery - whether its for a 'big' birthday gift, or that design you've always thought about bringing to life, just send me a message and we can have a chat.

Thank you!
