Her interests in Victorian literature and art, the history of costume and fashion and exploring wild places are reflected in her figurative portraiture and fashion images. Her documentary projects are concerned with positive, sensitive and vibrant representation of communities and individuals, with specific focuses on community versus corporate land ownership and how people make marks on their environments and places that matter to them. She also looks at representation of hidden illnesses and the emotional experiences of living with them, particularly epilepsy, which she explores in a very personal project, ‘Electric Visions’.
Anneleen's work has been exhibited in over 30 countries and been published in newspapers, books and magazines, including the New York Times and the London Evening Standard. She was a winner in the BJP’s Portrait of Britain 2016, and published in the Portrait of Britain book in 2018.
