Since childhood, I have been passionate about the joy of creating. I loved playing with colours, and making things with wood and paper. Therefore, when I got older, I experienced wood carving, making little wooden replicas, and making leather bags and jewelry. I have been interested in art jewelry in particular rather than classic jewelry. Art jewelry is as broadly defined as letting me tell stories I desire and I am a good storyteller! It is almost 6 years now since I started metalsmithing and enamelling, inspired mostly by my imagination and Victoria’s beautiful nature.
Therefore, after long time spending in the biotechnology and chemistry labs doing my PhD in science, here I am finding my main passion in life, again. I built this website to show and sell my handmade artwork and write about my art journey. Love to communicate with people with a shared interest and hear about their personal experiences.
I care about the planet, nature, and human beings! So, I have gradually paid more attention to using ethical supplies in pieces of jewellery I make such as ethically sourced gemstones, and also use recycled materials, particularly metals.
