Your artwork is amazing. Do you have an artistic background?
I have always been interested in arts and crafts since I was young. After I left school, I was lucky enough to find work in that industry, working for several prop companies and a well-established jewellery company (doing stoning, enamelling and quality checks). I learned and developed the beautiful finer detail which enhances the beauty of a finished piece of work.
