I’ve always been drawn to making things by hand. With a background in design and sculpture, I discovered silversmithing after moving to the UK in 2006. It was there, on the windswept shores of the Isle of Anglesey in Wales, that I first fell in love with ocean-worn sea glass.

Nearly two decades later, I create my jewellery from my studio on Tamborine Mountain in Queensland. I work predominantly with sterling silver and gold-filled metals, alongside sea glass collected from the UK, Japan and Iceland - fragments shaped naturally by the ocean over decades, and sometimes centuries.

No two pieces of sea glass are ever the same, so I allow each fragment to guide the design. Its shape, colour and history become part of the finished piece, creating jewellery that feels individual, considered and connected to the sea.

Alongside my studio practice, I run Mountain Bower, my gallery and store on Tamborine Mountain, where I bring together my jewellery with a carefully curated collection of Australian art, ceramics, textiles and handmade objects.
