First Collection: Equus Range

I am a practising artist as well as a jewellery designer and maker. I was born in Tokyo but migrated to Sydney with my mother when I was six and this is where I reside and practice.

In 2006 I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, majoring in Drawing.

Following my degree I began working in a jewellery workshop for a Sydney based design company. There I furthered my skills in metal working and silver smithing and developed lasting relationships with a myriad of talented jewellers, artists and designers. This engagement with such diverse and creative people inspired me to launch my own jewellery label in 2009.

So here are some images of my Equus Range, all hand crafted in silver or pink bronze.

My pieces are very sculptural. I guess this is a reflection on my fine arts background. This range in particular is loaded with statement yet very wearable. Ornamentation, patternation, animals, found objects and kitsch aesthetics are constant themes within my jewellery work.
