This special place also became the home of the multi-award-winning fine jewellery business I founded in 2010 and ran for eight years. I loved designing jewellery, and it was a wonderful way to share my art with the world.

The inspiration for my jewellery pieces—like all our projects—was deeply rooted in the natural world. Its vast, ever-changing beauty is a treasure trove of ideas, and I thoroughly enjoyed weaving together the magic of nature with references to ages old folklore, myth and fairy tales to create pieces with a story.
