'The Circle of Life' Dish

‘The Circle of Life’ Dish encapsulates the sights, textures and sense of British countryside with an above and below representing land and water. The inner bowl illustrations the underwater with shoals of fish swimming around and plants growing from the sides with the interweaving flow of the water. This is encircled by the upper level of the land, with various scenes including the mountains, fields and woodlands. This is filled with wildlife, animals, plants as well as the smallest details of insects and specific plants such as thistles, bluebells, four-leaf-clover, dandelion, cow parsley and many other hidden surprises!

'Woodland Reflections' Goblet

With this hand chased piece I wanted to capture the feeling of being outdoors and being encircled by trees which are reflecting in a woodland lake. The hand raised form resembles the natural curve of a tree and also makes a lovely shape to hold. The 9ct yellow gold wire makes it a delight to drink from and adds an elegant touch of quality.

'Golden Grasses' Brooch

This piece is inspired by a moment when I was on a hilltop in Isle of Arran and I lay watching the golden grasses as they danced in the wind. I added Keum-Boo which is a Korean technique of fusing 24ct gold to the surface of the metal.

'Daisy' Drop Earrings

The 'Daisy' earrings are predominately made of silver and have a citrine as the centre of the daisy which is set in 9ct yellow gold. They dangle at an elegant drop, creating a lovely movement as you move.

'Snowy Owls' Dish

This hand chased dish is inspired by snowy owls flying through wind. I created various textures in the wind and intricate detail in the feathers with them flying at different angles.

'Countryside Hedgehog' Caddy Spoon

Illustrated in this caddy spoon is a hedgehog with dragonflies and cow parsley, with a bird in the tree looking over the interweaving water with the fishes.<br>The form of the caddy spoon is hand formed to fit beautifully in the cure of your hand.<br>
