Welcome to The Moon up Above!

Welcome to The Moon Up Above. The website is a showcase and shop of the essence of what I do as a sculptor of metal pieces to wear. I do not consider myself a jeweller in the traditional sense. My experience and training has come from a fine art perspective and while I do employ traditional jewellery techniques on occasion, I am more interested in the emotional and spiritual impact of each piece. Does a little bird necklace on a nest make you smile? Do the gulls, stones and waves on a silver brooch take you back to those bucket and spade holidays you loved as a child? Does the texture of my rings evoke that walk in the woods when you examined the deep fissures of the bark on those magnificent oak trees?

My work is mainly inspired from encounters with the natural world. My holiday in Hartland, Devon inspired the sea pieces, while the little birds and bees came from observing the vibrant wildlife in my little terraced garden. Hearts too are a passion with me. It is a universal symbol of love and devotion and can even be found in Greek and Roman designs. My silver hearts speak to me of love today, yesterday and the love I hope to find in the future.

Please read my blog and browse my web pages. The events page will tell you where I will be in the near future. Meanwhile enjoy the website and I look forward to one day meeting you in person...
