Ever since I started experimenting with enamels on copper mesh, I was always intrigued in finding challenging ways of applying and fusing enamel on a base that was ‘moveable’.
Not following any rules or guidelines traditionally related to the practice of enamelling, I have developed my own unique method of sifting and fusing it.

Every piece created is part of a continuous and fascinating experimental journey which gives my work the freedom of constantly achieving something different and new. The appeal to me is that each piece is unique. My designs cannot be pre-conceived; each piece is allowed to create itself.

Any new discovery in one piece is the starting point for the next. This enables my work to progress technically as well as aesthetically. Discovery is the goal!

Specialist Techniques

I have developed my own unique method of fusing enamel on various types of silver and gold.
