Vicky is a British born redheaded, tattooed, scuba-diving cephalopod lover who creates under the name ‘Ginga Squid’.
A love of exploration in the natural world, above ground and under the ocean, has seen Vicky travel to all corners of the globe on all continents.
Vicky’s professional training as an Engineer (Masters degree, Oxford University), Chartered Accountant and Scuba Instructor shows itself in weird and wonderful ways. You can see her engineers mind and Mermaid tendencies at work in her decidedly Aquatic, ‘engineered’ and captivating jewellery.
Her work shows an ‘anything goes’ attitude where she explores her medium with felted wool, pearls, unusual gemstones, vintage ‘finds’ and fossils. Her increasingly complex combinations of materials and organic shapes delights the viewer and takes them to places previously unexplored.
