I have worked as a jeweller for over 30 years, combining output from my workshop with teaching to all levels – from tertiary to university – and a number of part time jobs in the arts sector. My original degree was the Diploma in Art & Design, studying at Central School of Art, London and I subsequently gained specific educational qualifications.

I added a Masters Degree in Design History and Material Culture, from Winchester School of Art, which satisfied my long held interests in the wider applications of design in contemporary society.

I am a member of the Association for Contemporary Jewellery.

For a number of years I have exhibited in galleries in the region, participated in artist –led exhibitions and have seen a satisfying growth in regular customers.

Early in 2004 I decided to commit my energies to running my jewellery business full-time which will give me the time to continue technical development and to reach a wider audience for my work..
