About

My inspiration has always been the Isle of Oronsay in Skye, childhood memories and cherished stories from my grandparents.

 I use geographical shapes of place, which I have a sentimental attachment to.  I create things from mostly from silver, these forms are pierced by hand, which is then formed with hand tools and embellished with additional materials relevant to the piece.
