Handmade silver jewellery that is essentially very wearable and fits as easily with a 'little black dress' as it does with jeans and a t-shirt. Simple and stylish silver rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces feature semi-precious stones, raw amber or Cornish and Spanish sea-glass. Textured and satin finishes are often used to give a contemporary feel and each piece is unique.

Having been brought up in Derbyshire I have known its peaks and dales since childhood. My semi-abstract paintings are inspired by the changing atmosphere and colours of the moorland, fields and local quarries. Drystone walls and ancient tracks cross and divide this land, telling of its past. These are the influences and feelings which I try to evoke in my work. In contrast my paintings of sheep are more naturalistic. I am intrigued by the variations in these animals which are usually thought of as simply white and fluffy.
