Life is such a beautiful endless learning curve and my journey has taken Xanthe through the magical world of Design, Theatre and Film TV Production (MSc.) Which enticed her to explore different materials and media platforms in story telling. As child she was always drawn to stones and crystals, it was this childhood interest that drew her to spend the past 8 years studying lapidary and making jewellery. She also held a fascination of the classical and mythical stories she heard as child, which brought about a marriage of the above skills. This fused into a longing to recreate tactile visual narratives of classical and mythical stories. Harnessed, by creating silver jewellery, gem stones, talisman and sculptures to represent characters, time and ambiance. Xanthe also appreciates that these metals and gems are precious gifts from the earth, and they also represents the inner beauty and uniqueness of the person wearing It or drawn to it.
