I love wildlife, particularly woodland creatures, and my shop reflects this love. I design quirky and whimsical jewellery and design and sell cards and prints all in my unique style. In 2015, due to my husband's job, I relocated to Dorset along with our dog Holly. Our new house has a wonderful studio overlooking our garden where I now work, inspired by everything around me."
