About Me

My photo
Bruthen, Victoria, Australia
I started out making basic jewellery in my mid school years, and it was due to the mounting frustration of not being able to "do more!" that pushed me to study in jewellery design. In 2009 I completed an Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Jewellery) at Box Hill Institute in Melbourne, Australia. This course is very highly focused on design, and we were urged to push our designs to be everything they could be. I love to work in metal, mostly silver, and I am keen to push the boundaries of what is considered modern day, jewellery acceptance. I draw my inspiration from everything around me, and have also designed and made many pieces from my dreams. My jewellery is usually quite organic and large... :) I like rings to be sculptures for the hand - See "Talk To The Hand" ring on the Home Page. I hope to continue my studies both around Australia and overseas in the coming years, but for now I have my own studio in the bush where I grew up to keep experimenting with the wonders of jewellery design.

Harness The Room

Whippletree

The Whippletree is a wooden bar positioned horizontally to the front of a horse drawn plough.
The bar is pivoted at or near the centre. It distributes force evenly through linkages.
Force is applied from one direction to the pivot, and from the other direction to the tips.


This exhibition was organised by the amazing Kate Marshall. Having a fondness for the brain teasing and brow creasing, she constructed an idea that no other could even pretend to take credit for. Thank you Kate, keep 'em coming :-)

The artists exhibiting in Whippletree are Kate Marshall, Karyn Nankivell, Stephen Robb, Misako Sakai, Puneet Jodhka, Jodie Welch, Alicia Hannah Naomi and Jane Walker (me).

Oak Hill Gallery is a lovely place to exhibit and one that I will definitely seek out for future exhibitions.

Oak Hill Gallery is situated at 100 Mornington-Tyabb Road, Mornington. Whippletree runs from 29th May - 24th June. There are five other exhibitions on at the same time, so it is definitely worth going for a look.
