I love experimenting with precious metals, especially silver, to create tactile, interesting pieces that invite the wearer to engage with them. I love clean, contemporary designs, often geometric and sculptural with unusual, organic surface patterns and textures. My pieces are inspired by everyday emotions and situations as well as the beautiful natural world we live in.
My Perseverance Range was inspired by battles with ill health 3 years ago, my Serenity Range was inspired by Buddhist singing bowls, and my new Hope Range was inspired by my charity climb to the top of Mount Kilimanajaro in January 2010. Such a personal challenge but it was incredibly humbling and amazing to see flora survive at such high altitude.
*** Karen is taking a break from making at the moment due to her work in art and education. We hope to offer her jewellery again in the future. If you have a message or enquiry about Karen's jewellery please feel free to get in touch and we will pass it on.
Commissioning a piece of work is really exciting – it is a chance to have something made especially for you and an opportunity to really engage in the creative process.
Perhaps you need accessories to go with a particular outfit or a piece of furniture to fit a specific space in your home. We can work with you to design something truly unique. You’ll be able to discuss your ideas, likes and dislikes with the Maker and together create a piece of craft, handmade for you.
This is just a first step, so don't worry, there’ll be plenty of chances to discuss details before finalising a commission.
