My creative journey began in performing arts, with a background in vocal performance. When the interaction of my disabilities affected my ability to sing and then also my visual perception – in a way that was difficult to express verbally, I turned to visual art to communicate my experience of disability to medical professionals. These visual descriptions informed my artwork and soon became a powerful arts practice. 

I now create artwork which expresses my lived experience of difference, particularly in relation to my visual perception, LGBTQIA+ culture, disability and neurodivergence. I aim to educate and engage viewers by challenging conventional perspectives on reality and perception.  

Whilst I aim to capture imagery as close to my initial perception as possible, this can seem unsettling, scary, or fantastical to some – like a sudden change in style hinting at a monster lurking in shadows or a rift between worlds. Through this imagery, the viewer is invited into a space of uncertainty, creating a narrative shaped by their own perception.
