[ About ]I am a photographer and digital artist based in North East England. I grew up in Edinburgh, moved to London later in life, and spent a decade in the Middle East. Living across these different environments and cultural contexts shaped my interest in place, identity, and belonging.
Working primarily within natural environments, I explore themes of the human condition, womanhood, latency, and transformation through photography and digital processes.
My favourite things are road trips, sunshine, dogs, woodland, live music, scuba diving, dappled light, roller skating, antique shops, losing track of time, horror movies, meditating in the rain, and good chocolate.
[ PRACTITIONER STATEMENT ]Practitioner Statement
My practice explores the relationship between landscape and lived experience, using photography to investigate themes of womanhood and transformation.
At the centre of my work is the woodland. More than a location, it functions as a site of encounter: a place where cultural narratives and the natural world intersect. I am drawn to the woodland’s shifting and unstable qualities; its capacity to hold both familiarity and uncertainty.
Through photography and digital intervention, I create woodland landscapes that reflect the fluid nature of memory and perception. My interest lies not in constructing fictional worlds, but in exploring how photographs can give form to experiences that are often difficult to articulate. The resulting images create spaces for reflection, asking the viewer to consider their own relationship with place, identity, and the narratives through which meaning is made.

Statement of Ethics
I believe in the power of photography as both a mirror of society and a potent storyteller. My practice explores forests, woods and coastlines; I value these environments and the opportunity to work within them. Therefore, I will always respect Mother Nature and leave no trace of my interaction.
As a photographer and digital artist, my practice can involve appropriating found imagery. I fully respect Copyright and the ownership of work shared in the public domain; therefore, I will only use appropriately licensed images and give full accreditation. I often incorporate digital manipulation, so I pledge to always be transparent about my process.
I recognise that the sensitive nature of my narratives, which can involve gender, representation and marginalisation, may be triggering for some people; therefore, I will be mindful of this when talking about or sharing my work in the public domain.
Perhaps the most important promise I can make as a photographer and digital artist is to continually evaluate my principles as my practice develops over time.
