PORTFOLIO
When someone first comes to me to commission a piece, there are usually 3 reasons they want one - firstly, as decoration for their garden or home. Secondly, as a gift.... and thirdly, as a memory piece for someone very special.
Sometimes, they know exactly what they want. However, usually I will come up with a design based on where the piece is going and anything that is special to the person. For gifts, I will try to make it as personal as possible and the more information I can get about the person, the more personal it will be.
With most of my pieces, there are extras like butterflies, flowers, etc. These are usually representations of people and I fill them with crystals in the colours of the birth stones.
When someone comes to me for a memory piece, this is an extremely personal and emotional sculpture. I try to find out as much as I can about what made their loved one special, what makes them remember them.
I have created a lot of pieces in memory of children or babies born asleep. The most important part of this kind of design is the emotion - what kind of feeling does someone want from the piece.
From there, I will come up with a design that will be unique to you and give you ideas. Then it's down to me to bring your piece to life.
To see some of my creations, have a look at my portfolio - and to see some of the stories behind the designs, just click on the pictures.
And if you would like a piece, I would love to hear from you and come up with your design.
