About
Her designs evolve through a dialogue between her source inspiration and the creative potential of the enamel. The versatility of the material is what attracts her the most as it gives an organic feel to her work. Her response to the way in which the materials fuse together is intuitive and impromptu. With each layer the enamel adds form, structure and substance to the piece. The natural fragility of the material exudes a new found strength, richness in texture and an acquired preciousness.
