I grew up in the countryside of West Cork, in the South of Ireland. I've been creating my whole life, painting, drawing, and writing and illustrating stories.

 

Along the way I've dabbled in textiles, mixed media, ceramics, sign painting, murals, doll making, you name it, I could never settle on one medium. That was until a fling with silversmithing led to a deep and enduring love affair and I never looked back. Since becoming a mother I'm more intent than ever to make my passion my career. To show my daughters that being a mum doesn't mean you have to put your dreams on hold.

 

My work is inspired by the magical beauty of the natural world. Combining a passion for working with my hands with my wandering imagination, I create unique pieces of  jewellery, constantly seeking the perfect balance between sentiment and ornament.
