My photographic practice is predominantly fine art-based, focusing on narrative and storytelling through images.

My style and approach to my practice is influenced heavily by my unique point of view that comes from being autistic, and much of my self-portrait work focuses on my experiences as a disabled person.

Alongside my self-portraits, I focus on making portraits, still lifes, and landscapes that invite people into a fairy-tale-inspired world, pulling from my love of folk tales, mythology, the language of flowers, and the hidden meanings behind all everyday objects.
