I am an Auckland based artist working mainly in the field of contemporary jewellery since 2004, based at shared studio, Workshop6.

Jewellery continues to fascinate me for its power to express ideas and thoughts in the physical realm and the ability to communicate on both a personal and public level. Through making and teaching I strive to connect, share skills and investigate what we value, how we engage with each other and our environment.

Through Handshake I plan to work on drawing together the elements of my practice, including jewellery, sculpture, collaboration and community based projects; to distill the what, how, who, where and why.

Mia’s mentor is Manon van Kouswijk.
