About

I graduated from the Otago Polytechnic School of Art in 1991, and again in 2005, this time majoring in Jewellery and Metalsmithing. Between times I have worked as a bookbinder, barmaid and picture framer, in a number of cities around the world.

A collector and hoarder by nature, I have always been drawn to objects that carry a sense of history. Dunedin's second hand shops provide rich hunting grounds for overlooked treasure and these finds form the basis for much of my work.

Tucked away in my studio, I bring together the skills I was taught as a child around the kitchen table with those later learnt at the jeweller's bench.
