About MeI make one-of-a-kind jewellery. Some pieces celebrate the beauty of a stone, set in ways you probably haven't seen before. Others incorporate found objects that reflect how the world makes me feel.
It's been more than 24 years since I left Amsterdam. My journey took me to London for the largest part, France and Rome, before I landed in the Swiss Alps. I work from my studio here, surrounded by mountains and nature that takes my breath away in every season.
For years, I quietly created my work whilst a small network of loyal collectors emerged. In 2024, I wholeheartedly began sharing more publicly, with a few exceptions before.. It's been rather wonderful to see how the work resonates with those who seek a different type of beauty.
How My Work Evolved
My work has become quite autobiographical. My earliest pieces focused on human carelessness – the debris people leave behind. I made a large necklace from that debris, an activist piece that asked uncomfortable questions. I found it fascinating why we have a need for shiny objects. What does gold truly mean? I questioned adornment itself, and discovered how truly wonderful it can be.
I've grappled with anxiety about showing my work and worked through layers of self-doubt. When I started delving deeper into my own soul, I realised that I often have something to say or wonder about. Jewellery became a natural way to express this – whether through creating something beautiful, something with a rawer edge, or incorporating found objects with a tongue-in-cheek approach to human behaviour. I equally love to emphasise my softer side by sculpting structures inspired by natural forms, because this planet is the most beautiful thing we have.
How I Work
I've been involved in jewellery since I was young and have always loved originality – in thought and in execution. Everything I do begins with a feeling, and I let the materials guide me. At the moment I work predominantly in wire, though I've also been exploring other techniques and materials. My wire techniques allow me to express myself in a way that I've chosen, developed through years of experimentation.
My signature style has been described as having an unintentional "raw luxury" feel. It emerges naturally from my hands and the way I see things.
