“Discovering the living organisms that can be found in water is a major source of inspiration. For me, water and metal have the same fluidity and I move through both with the same ease. There are no boundaries, no limits.

I cannot explain the irresistible force that draws me like a magnet to metal, the joy of forging, hammering, chasing, shaping, and capturing the very essence of life in silver and gold, the magic of metal! I transform nature by adding or removing, recreating my own balance, working directly in metal. I’m always surprised by what I find in nature. At times I think I’ve seen something before, yet it’s always a new discovery.

Through jewellery I can express myself freely; instinctively I give it movement. The sea is my refuge, free diving my passion, jewellery making the art form, metal the medium.”
