My practice revolves around the concept of the wish, and a motivation to think about how to convey goodwill and a sense of healing to the wearer through jewellery. Capturing the customs and traditions related to wishing in life, such as wishing trees and birthday candles, I combine jewellery with objects that retain their original function to convey positive emotions to the wearer and the audience. Materials, such as, metal, gemstones, paper, wood chips, acrylic sheets, pearls, found objects and many other mixed media are incorporated into these designs, giving people a more intuitive experience to accept the emotions expressed by the work.
