I picked up my mother’s camera at sixteen and have worked professionally as a photographer and artist for over a decade. Somewhere along the way, I began turning the camera toward myself.

Self-portraiture became more than making pictures. It became a place of encounter — a way of making visible what I couldn't yet name, meeting difficult emotions, playing with possibility and seeing myself differently. It brought together my love of performance, expression and poetry, and ultimately brought me closer to myself.

Alongside my artistic practice, I have also spent many years teaching and guiding, from individual photographic workshops to longer photography journeys, and from one-to-one English coaching to group learning. These experiences have taught me how to listen, ask questions, hold supportive spaces and, perhaps most importantly, allow people to find their own language for what they want to express.

Spirituality and ritual have also become part of how I listen, orient myself and make meaning. I am drawn to the understanding that the world is not simply something we move through, but something we are in relationship with.

When we recognise ourselves in the other, in another person, an animal, a tree, a landscape, perhaps we remember that we were never as separate as we imagined.
