Artist Bio
Fiona Kerr grew up with her family in the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders, being brought up in this rural countryside gave her an early appreciation of nature which would prove invaluable in later life.
She holds a degree in Three Dimensional Design and has continued to hone her skills though experience and specialist jewellery training. Moving to Northern Ireland in the mid 90’s Fiona gained extensive knowledge in Jewellery making techniques and manufacture by working in the Trade for many years before taking the decision to set up her own business in 2002.
Now celebrating over 20 years in business she has relocated from the North Antrim Coast to the beautiful Lakelands of County Fermanagh and continues to draw inspiration from her surroundings. She says: ‘’With a stunning backdrop of gently rolling hills and loughs it’s easy to be influenced by the natural beauty of County Fermanagh.’’
Using traditional jewellery making techniques all the jewellery she creates is made within her small stone-built workshop. ‘’It’s where the magic happens’’ she says, ‘’I like to design and make jewellery that has a modern, contemporary feel, making the wearer feel elegant, effortlessly.’’ Fiona achieves this to great effect by combining contrasting textures with polished surfaces of golds and silver, adorning pieces with shimmering precious and semi-precious gemstones, creating her handmade contemporary jewellery.
