The fiestas and colour which accompany the passing are so uplifting, celebrating life and its ongoing journey it is to that muse that led me to further develop my work to encase or embalm if you will, the sheer beauty of gods creations. A long time fascination with skulls and history of sacrifice as always been at the edifice of our lives.
Working in the high luxury goods sector for over 22 years and through word of mouth, private commissions and photo shoots for the fashion world I am delighted my exclusive pieces end up adorning an eclectic portfolio of exclusive homes, penthouses and villas around the world sharing my love and appreciation of gods natural work.

Each piece is totally unique hence using their names appointed to them. All are then lovingly prepared with each individual stone applied by hand with over 5,500 Swarovski Crystals creating a totally unique, stunning pieces of art.'
