My artwork explores the idea of domestic and environmental harmony, often prompting questions about our shifting perceptions as to the composition and the fragility of that harmony. I paint objects connected to people now gone and therefore their memory, selective clutter and kitsch, and seek the - at times uneasy - beauty in the everyday. 

Much of my work is an exploration of the artist’s - and the viewer’s - shifting place in the concertina motion of the present and the past. 

Storytelling, with its inevitable intertwining of language and identity, along with the energy and imagination of play, are fundamental to my work.  I believe the creative energy and discipline of play set us up to receive knowledge and understanding.
