2025 Craft + Design Canberra Daily Creative Challenge Finalist 

Artist Statement | The experience of doing this challenge was both engaging and inspiring. For a long time, I've been wanting to integrate found objects into my contemporary jewellery practice and this challenge gave me the chance to do it. Although it was hard to complete a wearable object every day, I was able to incorporate many found objects and also reuse and repurpose many past pieces that I had set aside. I found myself looking at materials differently and letting myself be more adventurous with colour than I normally would. All in all a completely rewarding, worthwhile and fun project to be part of.
