Central to this work is the painterly process, the possibility that oil painting has of bringing into existence or wiping away – akin to the thought process. The continuous creating and obliterating capabilities of the medium, the potential for it’s generating of ideas and for their erasure through layering and over painting, resonates deeply with me.

Colour and texture, that are intrinsic to the objects that I have chosen to have in my personal space, are transferred into my paintings through the use of paint that I manipulate to form objects. Words splatter over the surface, pun and satirise the objects. Here I honour domesticity and raise it to another level of consciousness, hoping to delight and amuse and enlighten my viewer.
