My passion for jewellery ignited in my youth when my father gifted me a special ring before his passing. I cherished it until it could no longer fit. This ring holds immense sentimental value, symbolizing his memory and nurturing a deep connection to him. It was the catalyst for my love of jewellery, particularly rings. 

As an empathic artist, my journey centres around colours that evoke emotions and stories. I work with a diverse range of materials, from resilient metals to fluid resin, ethereal crystals and gemstones, soft textiles, and transparent glass. Within this palette, I incorporate elements like 24-carat gold foils, crystals, and gemstones, weaving a vibrant symphony of colours. 

Each hue tells a unique story, evoking distinct emotions and forming the foundation for narratives woven into each creation. In my "Enchanted Fairy Garden" project, colours connect with emotions and stories, drawing from my empathic connection to magic as a sanctuary from life's harsh realities, especially during the emotional turbulence of my traumatic childhood. This project captures the profound link between my art and my empathic essence, where colours convey emotions and narratives.
