Inspired by nature - crafted by magic.

I believe in the magic of nature. I draw inspiration from the natural world and the ancient wisdom of past civilizations.

I create Jewellery in honour of the creative force of mother earth. My motivation is to connect the wearer to that force. The spiral, often used as a clasp in many pieces, is one recurring element representing
the eternal cycle of life.


I carve forms in wax and reproduce them in Silver or Gold. I also fabricate my designs from sheet and wire and will often include stones which I have cut myself. In many cases the rough material has been found in my travels around Australia or else where in the world. I also buy stones from the places I travel to, that are cut in local workshops.

My jewellery is not mass produced, I create limited editions of 20 casts, plus the master. All my pieces are stamped with my Triple Goddess Lotus symbol and an edition. I enjoy stamping words, phrases or “calls” onto my pieces to add a surprise element. Every edition will be slightly different and thus unique.

Drawing and collage are a large part of my work. I produce cards, make books and incorporate my original and reproduced images into sculptural work. I have currently available a book of reproduced sketches of cafe life at Goldbergs.

Some of my work will be available to view and purchase on line at www.nanshedesigns.com.au or by calling 02 4962 1208.
