About Me

I graduated from Adelaide Centre for the Arts in 2006 with a Bachelor Degree in Visual Arts and Applied Design, majoring in contemporary jewellery and painting. I also studied life drawing in 2000 at Adelaide Central School of Art.

My current focus in life is the joy of creating Jewellery.My influences for my Jewellery are Art Nouveau and Celtic styles. My work incorporates the old and the new with fresh and funky designs. Along with my jewellery I am also an avid painter focusing on tradition applications with a modern twist in concepts. Art has always been a huge part of my life, it's my main passion.

I have two daughters born in 2007 and 2009; both bring an enormous amount of joy into my life. Finding the time as a full time mum and an Artist is challenging but well worth the rewards both give me.

I am available for commission pieces and can be contacted via my email. tweetdesigns@live.com.au
