To me, enamelling is one of the most beautiful kinds of jewellery decoration. I find it fascinating how layers of fired glass can create intensity of colour and depth to a degree which otherwise can only be achieved by gemstones.

Figurative subjects inspire me. I try to get close to the appearance of the real object in shape and colour but sometimes also take it one step further to give the piece a certain twist.

In terms of techniques, I like making use of the possibilities of photo etching, as it allows me to create very intricate areas on which to apply the enamel. 
Many of my pieces incorporate Champlevé, because the light reflection from an engraved background enhances transparent enamel colours beautifully and makes them shine.

I have recently started using Riso-screens in my work. It means, I can create a print like look of the enamel. This is particularly effective on slightly larger pieces like my panel work.
