I produce exclusive one off designs that are centred on the anatomy of blackbirds.

This form is manipulated to produce pieces that project an element of drama and conjure a talking point amongst individuals.

Combing the gothic influence of mourning jewellery and taxidermy, I use techniques including casting with found animal parts such as bones bird wings and antlers to produce wearable pieces as well as ornamental homeware.

I love the textures within the natural forms that are incorporated with my work.

This use of natural mixed media is what creates the statement factor within the pieces and provides a dramatic influence.

Deer antlers are included alongside the bird form as it supports the gothic influence I wish to generate as the deer is the signature idea of taxidermy and mourning.

My interest influences pieces of ornamental home ware and jewellery inspired from traditional Victorian pieces.

For both men and women who wish to compliment their unique style with a dramatic, one off piece.
