The artist

“Colour and pattern have always been hugely important to me. The hundreds of shades of green in the bush, the patterns a lizard makes running over a sand dune or the bands of colours on a fish, the colours in the bark of a tree or the shapes of coral all inspire me in my jewellery work.”

Suzette started making jewellery in September 2003, as a form of relaxation and counter-balance to her regular job of Director of the Alice Springs Cultural Precinct.

Born in South Australia, she spent her holidays between the sea and the hot sand dunes at Aldinga Beach. The fascination (some might say obsession!) with the sea continues today.

Suzette works mostly in sterling silver, with pearls, sea glass, semi-precious stones such as turquoise, peridot, aquamarine, garnet or citrine, and shells, crystals and coral.

Suzette currently sells in Adelaide, Alice Springs, Darwin and Cairns.
