My painterly experimentation with colour and resin are a flirtation with chance. In my subjective investigations, I coax ‘spontaneous patterns of colour’ from the material. I skirt around the ‘wrong kind of random’ as I exercise partial control over the miniature swirling storms, unable ever to predict the exact and final outcome. Each piece tells its own story of control versus chance in its spontaneous pattern. This story is told through the painting like qualities, giving each wearer something different, that they can then add their own story to.

The imagery and notions of nature create beautiful, wearable pieces of jewellery that in a sense are like small sculptures or paintings for the body. I use colour with organic shapes and clean flowing lines to create a strong sense of technical diversity within the work.
