From the Jeweller:

"My whakapapa from Mum is Ngati Porou, Ngati Kahungunu, English and French and from Dad – Australian and Irish. I grew up between the Solomon Islands and Aotearoa New Zealand, and lived in Australia for many years, returning home to Aotearoa in 1992. I now live in Eastbourne with my husband, 3 children (they come and go), our dog and a cat.

My current passion for jewellery started with a class in Ubud, Bali, with my family in 2017. On my return home, a health scare made me re-evaluate work and life priorities. While recuperating I decided to pursue jewellery as a creative outlet and healing focus. This led to the desire to make a living designing and creating beautiful pieces of jewellery. Over the years, I have studied with and learnt from some wonderful local and international jewellers.

I am inspired by a variety of jewellery styles and techniques and often look at nature and wonder how I can express what I see in jewellery. Always curious to know more I see my learning journey will be never-ending. The deep satisfaction of making jewellery to adorn our bodies and gift to others is my way of showing appreciation for life."
