I started silversmithing several years ago, initially I started so that I would have an excuse to buy lots of gemstones, but soon I developed a love for the silver itself.  I am for the most part self taught, learning from books and videos online, but mostly from trying things and making mistakes! 

I spend a lot of my free time roaming around mountains and forests. There is something magical in the wilderness, and that feeling, that magic is something I try to recreate in the jewellery that I make.
