JEWELLERY
Handmade and original jewellery
I started my jewellery making journey about sixteen years ago; beginning with textiles and glass beads but then swiftly moved on to working with and manipulating silver. I now produce unique, handmade jewellery pieces which are mostly made in silver, incorporating precious stones and hints of gold. My jewellery is inspired by the style of ancient and archaeological pieces and natural forms and aspires to have a very handmade and almost 'dug up' look. I almost feel that my own Kashmiri background subconsciously filters into my designs. Most of the work has been hand forged but I also use the lost wax casting process. Vibrant colour always plays a large part in both my painting and jewellery.
I'm always happy to discuss commissions and regularly repurpose old inherited pieces into something new and unique.
PAINTINGS
Portraits
I originally trained in Fine Art and now, mostly, specialise in portraiture - the example featured above is of my son when he was five. Most commissions are usually undertaken at my Worcestershire studio. Wouldn't you love a portrait of someone you're close to? To begin with we will start the process by having a personal consultation to discuss your requirements and the best way to capture loved one/s and then you will either provide a high definition photo or I will book in a mutually convenient time to photograph the subject/s. Examples of previous portraits can be found by clicking this link.
