Nature with its never ending textures, shapes, colours and art in general provide me with inspiration for all my pieces of jewellery. I have always been drawn to work with my hands and in the end every new creation expresses itself from the inside out, elements finding and complementing each other in harmony and synergy. All of my creations are one of a kind and handcrafted.

My artistic journey started in Germany as a Gold & Silversmith, where I trained for four and a half years under a German Master to obtain my Diploma. This was followed by my enrolment into Art School, in order to deepen my understanding and appreciation for the artistic side of my profession.

After coming to Canada, I was offered a teaching position at George Brown College in Toronto, in their Jewellery Arts Program. There, I taught in-depth Gold and Silversmithing techniques along with other creative aspects of this profession. After leaving my teaching position, I opened my own studio in order to continue my professional career.

All of my work is designed and hand crafted by myself. To see my inner creative vision, become an outer visible reality, by transforming a piece of precious metal into something beautiful, gives me great pleasure and deep satisfaction.
