My pieces are inspired by life and death, my designs reflect a love of nature and an appreciation of the transience of life. I never harm animals to make my jewellery, all my bones are collected from the ground and all my insects are found dead. I make my original pieces from wax, insects and bones. I model them into shapes that I'm happy with then have them cast in solid sterling silver by an Australian casting house. They come back to me in a rough condition and I work them into the final pieces that you see in my images.
