I have been creating contemporary jewellery in silver and gold out of my studio in Alliston (about an hour north of Toronto) for almost twenty years now. My signature technique of stone inlay using a wide range of unusual natural stone adds colour and extra interest to the work.While my pieces are often historically inspired and sometimes pursue a particular theme, mostly I love to play with the surprise of asymmetrical designs and unexpected material combinations. My work explores contrasts in metal and stone: smooth stone and polished metal set off by fused or roller printed textures; the play of colour in unique stone inlays; precious gems and metals paired with rough minerals or broken pottery shards; and contemporary designs that have the feel of ancient artefacts. I believe there is still a place in today's world for beautiful, well-made objects and that these objects enrich our lives.
