I have recently graduated from Glyndwr University Wrexham, I did a BA in Applied Art and Design and specialised in Jewellery/Metalwork.

My final year degree show consisted of pieces inspired by the 'Change and Decay' of the environment around me.

I photographed paint that was peeling or chipping away from wooden doors, the points of impact on smashed windows where the cracks spiderweb outwards, scaffolding that is erected around buildings in a protective manner amongst other things.

The jewellery pieces I created were in response to the photographic research I did. I created silver 'frames' that housed small pieces or wood and glass to make the contents seem more precious than the silver. This is a direct reversal of traditional jewellery where the stones housed in the settings are often more precious than the silver.

My first exhibition outside of University I secured for myself was at Atelier jewellers as part of the Winter Showcase in October 2011 in Ryde on the Isle of Wight.

This summer (2012) I will be exhibiting at the New Designers fair in Islington London.
