Welcome
Welcome to my little corner of the world where nature meets art.
Here, real flowers, leaves, and seedpods are transformed into one-of-a-kind copper creations — from wearable jewellery to framed botanical art.
Each piece is made with care, preserving the delicate beauty of nature in a way that lasts a lifetime.
Take a look around, explore the collection, and discover something truly unique.
About my creations
Each piece is formed by nature and finished by hand. I electroform real botanicals — flowers, leaves and seedpods — in copper to create wearable art and framed pieces.
My work balances organic forms with a clean, modern presentation so the natural shapes remain the focus.

About me
Each piece I create begins with nature. I carefully select real botanicals — flowers, leaves, and seedpods — and preserve their delicate beauty through the art of copper electroforming. Every item is finished by hand, resulting in one-of-a-kind wearable art and framed pieces that celebrate the intricate details of the natural world.
My work blends organic forms with clean, modern design, allowing the unique shapes and textures of each botanical to take centre stage.
My fascination with electroforming began over two decades ago, when I purchased an electroformed orchid while on holiday in Singapore. That moment sparked a lifelong interest, and this year I finally took the leap to turn my passion into a practice. Exploring the process of copper electroforming has been both captivating and inspiring, and I’m thrilled to share these pieces — nature preserved in metal, transformed into timeless art.
