Over the past decade her work has focused on the representation of the female form through experimental photographic processes such as cyanotype printing, multiple exposures, photopolymer gravure and hand colouring.Her work explores the relationship between the human body, nature, and the cosmos, embracing the tactile and unpredictable qualities of analogue processes.

Work has been published in: The Guardian, The Times, New Scientist, Vogue. She has exhibited widely across the UK, including at The Lowry, Salford; HOME, Manchester; Bankley Gallery, Manchester; and Lumen Crypt, London.
