I’m a 24-year-old artist living with autism, passionate about drawing animals and imagining Star Wars-inspired battle scenes. Since finishing high school in 2017, I’ve been proud to exhibit and sell my work throughout Sydney and the Blue Mountains.

Creating art helps me feel calm, focused, and connected. Living with autism can sometimes make me feel isolated or out of step with the world — but when I’m drawing, I find a space where I can truly be myself. Sharing my artwork allows me to express thoughts and feelings that are difficult to put into words, and it gives me a way to engage with others in a meaningful way.

Exhibiting my work and seeing others enjoy it gives me a deep sense of purpose and personal achievement. Art has helped me grow in confidence, and I’m grateful for the chance to share my creativity with people who connect with what I do.
