London-based artist and researcher whose practice explores perception, visual–spatial thinking, and the dyslexic gaze. My work spans painting, drawing, installation, and moving image, and is informed by my doctoral research, which introduced the concept of the Dyslexic Sublime.

Water is the starting point for much of my work. I use still images of turbulent water as source material, isolating moments of reflection, refraction, movement, and distortion through a process of zeroing in. Beginning with observation, my paintings and installations move between realism, stylisation, and abstraction, inviting viewers to discover imagery that often goes unnoticed. Rather than depicting water itself, I am interested in its capacity to disrupt perception and reveal alternative ways of seeing. As a dyslexic artist, my doctoral research has deepened this exploration through the development of the Dyslexic Sublime, a conceptual framework examining the relationship between dyslexic perception and artistic practice.
