My jewellery is made from acrylic and anodised aluminium. The
findings are handmade from silver or surgical stainless steel.
Colour is high quality acrylic paint with gold and silver leaf.
My training is in fine art painting and I have worked with
colour in jewellery in order to bring my liking for colour and
form into a size that may be worn. The work is intended to be
worn as dynamic fine art. A sheet of acrylic is painted in
layers over time and finished with two coats of varnish. The
aluminium is anodised to accept dyes. It is then painted and
sealed so that the colour is fixed permanently.
With some acrylic pieces, I have worked the top surface to give
depth to the work. One may look through it to the lower painted
surface and appreciate colours in depth. From the sides
refracted light is seen.
With my paintings I have a range of ideas to present them in
ways other than by simply framing them, so too with my
contemporary jewellery. I have found a wide variety of shapes
and designs for wearing my art and I have adopted the laser
cutter to help me cut shapes that would not be possible to make
manually. All pieces have had handmade attention to achieve
their individuality. No two are the same.
My interests are in fine art rather than the applied arts. By
this I mean I work with my sense and sensibilities and avoid
working to pattern. My design is in the shape I give my
jewellery. I like to think about my paintings being worn as
jewellery by my client.
